«Truqueu tres, un, dos» is the crime novel by Fredric Brown, published in 1990 by Edicions 62 in paperback (152 pages, in Catalan).
The novel interweaves the story of a gambler pursued by bad luck with that of a psychopath who commits a series of crimes. As both plots advance, their paths converge and the narrative shifts into an unsettling intrigue, charged with tension and unexpected twists.
It is a translation by Núria Ribera and belongs to the Cua de Palla collection (no. 98); the original work, «Knock Three-One-Two», was published in 1959.
A work for readers of classic crime and detective fiction, close to pulp and psychological suspense.
Fredric Brown was an American science fiction, fantasy, and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of one to three pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings. Humor and a postmodern outlook carried over into his novels as well. One of his stories, "Arena", was adapted into a 1967 episode of the American television series Star Trek.
