En la nueva novela de Eduardo Mendoza, El secreto de la modelo extraviada, el detective loco que protagoniz\u00f3 El misterio de la cripta embrujada, El laberinto de las aceitunas y recientemente El enredo de la bolsa y la vida recuerda un caso aparentemente cerrado de los ochenta y no ceja en su empe\u00f1o de resolverlo m\u00e1s de veinte a\u00f1os despu\u00e9s. El detective m\u00e1s divertido de la narrativa espa\u00f1ola nos cuenta aqu\u00ed su doble aventura:\u00abPara el que ha pasado buena parte de su vida encerrado en un manicomio, aunque sea injustamente, como es mi caso, una reacci\u00f3n absurda no tiene nada de particular, aunque eso suponga meterse en l\u00edos. La cuesti\u00f3n es que un incidente trivial me trajo recuerdos y viaj\u00e9 al pasado (con la memoria, ya he dicho que no estoy loco). A\u00f1os atr\u00e1s me vi envuelto en un asunto feo. Hab\u00edan asesinado a una modelo y me culpaban a m\u00ed. Por supuesto, sin raz\u00f3n: una modelo no har\u00eda caso a un tipo como yo ni asesin\u00e1ndola. Simplemente, hab\u00eda un oscuro enredo, estaba metida gente importante y pensaron que yo pod\u00eda servir de cabeza de turco o de conejillo de indias, o como sea que se llame el desgraciado que paga los platos rotos. Para salvar el pellejo tuve que recurrir a mi ingenio y a m\u00e9todos poco convencionales y pedir ayuda a personas de mi c\u00edrculo, no siempre recomendables. No s\u00e9 si sal\u00ed bien parado del intento, pero sal\u00ed. Ahora todo aquello ya es agua pasada. Sin embargo, un impulso me ha hecho volver sobre mis pasos, recorrer los antiguos escenarios, buscar a las personas que fueron protagonistas de aquel oscuro caso, y resolverlo por fin. Pero las cosas han cambiado. No s\u00f3lo las personas y la forma de vivir, sino sobre todo la ciudad. En aquella \u00e9poca, Barcelona era una cochambre. Hoy es la ciudad m\u00e1s visitada y admirada. \u00a1Qui\u00e9n nos lo iba a decir! La Barcelona del presente no tiene nada que ver con la Barcelona del pasado. \u00bfO s\u00ed?\u00bb.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
