✦ Synopsis
La gran maestra de la novela histórica presenta la vigésima entrega de su aclamada serie protagonizada por Marco Didio Falco, en la que vemos al más célebre detective de la historia abrumado de nuevo por enrevesados problemas familiares, a los que la muerte de su padre, lejos de ponerles fin, no hace sino complicar hasta extremos delirantes.
Tampoco faltan los cadáveres en esta entrega de la serie, ni las jovencitas a punto de descarriarse, ni los informantes de la peor estofa, ni los chanchullos más deshonestos y rastreros que imaginarse pueda. Ni siquiera una familia de psicópatas a los que nadie parece atreverse a levantarles la voz.
Quizás Némesis contiene además alguna de las escenas más duras y violentas jamás escritas hasta ahora por Lindsey Davis, y sin duda también algunos de los diálogos más frescos y chispeantes que hayan salido de su pluma. Marco Didio Falco en estado puro, Lindsey Davis en plena forma. Como dice el tango: “Veinte años no es nada”.
