First Prehistoric Serial Killer and other stories

An impressive and very funny collection of stories by Teresa Solana but the fun is very dark indeed. The oddest things happen. Statues decompose and stink out galleries, two old grandmothers are vengeful killers, and a prehistoric detective trails a triple murder that is threatening cave life as the early innocents knew it. The volume also includes prize-winning Connections, a sparkling web of Barcelona stories--connected by two criminal acts--that allows Solana to explore the darker side of different parts of the city and their seedier inhabitants.

'...hugely imaginative collection of (mostly crime) (mostly Barcelona-based) short stories... The 'Connections' sequence in particular is terrific.' — Ian Rankin
