Argentine writer Raul Argemi, born in 1946 in La Plata, Argentina and a Spanish resident since 2000, won the L’H Confidencial crime novel award in 2008 for his novel Family Portrait with Dead Woman

Primeras líneas: Me llamo Juan Manuel Galván, y soy juez. En activo. He hecho el proceso de muchos, pasando desde la convicción más cerrada hasta la aceptación de que las cosas son como son, y no se pueden cambiar. Sólo que, de tanto en tanto, una chispa de rebeldía, de inconformidad, aparece para estropear un camino hacia la nada.

Opening lines: My name is Juan Manuel Galvan, and I am a judge. Still in office. I’ve had to prosecute many, passing from the most narrow conviction up to the acceptance that things are as they are, and can’t be changed. Only that, from time to time, a spark of rebellion, of nonconformity, pops up to spoil a road to nowhere. (My free translation).

A real pity that his books are not available in English at this moment. Stay tuned. You can read more at:
