  "account": "Alicia Giménez Bartlett, a bold figure in the heart of crime fiction, emerged 30 years ago and transformed the landscape of Spanish crime novels. Like her creator, Inspector Petra Delicado, Giménez Bartlett is a striking presence – \"peleona, sarcastic, protestona and tocapelotas,\" she carries a deep sorrow and indignation for the world, scarred by the loss of her beloved partner. This portrait of her is presented in \"Bajo el cielo infernal\" (Destino), the 13th installment of her popular police procedural series, which has since expanded to two volumes of short stories. The book exudes anger and style, showcasing the virtues of a writer who is far more than the creator of the first female police inspector in European noir.\n\nOur interview took place in Vinaròs, Castellón, during the last weekend of August. Giménez Bartlett's home, a refuge for her aging years with her beloved Carlos, hosted the town's traditional summer party. In the pool, two splendid labradors eagerly dove in first, unbothered. As some lingered, they offered a final cigarette, conversation, or a beer. \"Friendship is very important to me,\" she confides in the opening lines of an interview that will stretch over two days, spanning her desk, the garden, streets, and restaurants of a village where, beyond her celebrity status, locals greet and appreciate her as the neighborly friend of the baker Mariló or the doctor Bismark.",
  "summary": "La autora celebra los 30 años de la creación de su mítica Petra Delicado con ‘Bajo el cielo infernal’, la mejor novela de la serie. Repasamos en su casa en Vinaroz inquietudes, reflexiones y esperanzas de la gran figura de la ficción criminal española",
