Granada Award:
Alicia Jimenez-Bartlett will be the guest of honor at Granada Noir thanks to the awarding of the Granada Prize for her literary career and, especially, for her black series starring Petra Delicado, the first Spanish female researcher of the genre.
Petra Delicado is a Barcelona police inspector who abuses alcohol, smokes, includes in her vocabulary many more tacos than usual in a normal conversation, with flat tastes (she is happy with a tortilla sandwich and a beer), with an enviable logical and very independent reasoning. She is accompanied in her cases by Deputy Inspector Fermín Garzón, a folksy and simple man who remains calm in any situation.
Alicia Jiménez-Bartlett will speak of Petra Delicado in Granada Noir, but she will not be, far from the only writer who will sweep away in this edition of the festival, full of great stars.
