Annika Brunke presents Bacon, winner of the second Premio Alexis Ravelo for crime fiction. In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria an amputated, tattooed arm turns up in a rubbish container, and judge Mara Ramírez, newly arrived on the island, takes on her first case with inspector Aitor Ibarra, with whom she often clashes. Between them stands Beatriz Mantecas, a pastry chef marked by her past. Tenderness, humour and violence run through the novel.
Brunke was born in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria in 1975 and has lived in Mexico, the United States and Spain; she began with poetry and short stories but has a soft spot for thrillers, crime and mystery fiction and erotic writing. The presentation, with free admission, is at the Biblioteca Canaria in Adeje on Saturday 14 November 2026 at 10:30.
