While We Are Young

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria · Category: Literature · Subcategory: Literary fragments · Year: 2015 · Authors: José Luis Correa

This is the eighth noir novel, published in 2015, in the detective Ricardo Blanco series, written by the Gran Canarian author José Luis Correa (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, 1962).

This time the lifeless body of a student appears in a hallway in the city of Las Palmas and the alleged murderer requests Blanco's help, who faces one of the most complex cases of his career. Set in the university world where truths and lies intertwine, the plot, as always with this author, unfolds within the bowels of the city of Las Palmas.

"Before I knew it I had arrived at the naval base. My steps had taken me away from the supposed criminal to lead me to the victim, a stone's throw from the hallway where they had ended his life. I decided to drop by the apartment that Paola shared with the other students. I didn't expect much. The police would have shaken the foundations of the entire block looking for answers. But since they already had a culprit, they might have stopped asking questions too soon."
