«La verdad sobre el caso Savolta» is the novel by Eduardo Mendoza, published by Planeta in paperback (416 pages, in Spanish).
In the Barcelona of 1917-1919, Javier Miranda witnesses the decline of the Savolta arms company, beset by labour conflicts. The murder of the industrialist, a supplier to the Allies in the First World War, gives rise to a plot that blends detective fiction, picaresque and satire, with humour and irony.
The novel was originally published in 1975 and won the Premio de la Crítica de Narrativa Castellana in 1976.
For readers interested in contemporary Spanish fiction, historical mystery and early twentieth-century Barcelona.
