«El laberinto de las aceitunas» is the detective and humour novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (271 pages, in Spanish).
Mendoza's anonymous, parodic detective gets caught up in a tangle of incidents: he chases a briefcase full of money and stumbles into a network of crooks. The parody of the detective genre, humour and social satire combine in a plot that branches into absurd and grotesque situations.
Second instalment in the series The Unnamed Detective or The Patient of Doctor Sugrañes, which began with El misterio de la cripta embrujada.
Will appeal to readers of mystery and humour novels, and to those following Mendoza's detective series.
