«El laberinto de las aceitunas» is the humorous mystery novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Seix Barral in paperback (318 pages, in Spanish).
A detective confined to an asylum, a parodic character by Eduardo Mendoza, is dragged into a farcical investigation: a gang of crooks tries to recover a briefcase full of money lost in bizarre circumstances. The police caper becomes a social and genre caricature, from humor to surreal absurdity.
Second installment of the series «El innombrado detective o El paciente del Doctor Sugrañes», sequel to «El misterio de la cripta embrujada».
For readers of humorous crime fiction and Spanish literature, especially those who enjoy social satire and absurd plots.
Eduardo Mendoza Garriga is a Spanish novelist, playwright, and essayist. His first novel, La Verdad sobre el Caso Savolta, published in 1975, reflected the social changes as Spain transitioned to democracy, and was very successful. His 1986 novel, La Ciudad de los Prodigios, is widely acclaimed, and he is also known for his "mad detective" parody novels, in particular El Laberinto de las Aceitunas.
