Th is article analyzes La pista de hielo (Th e Skating Rink, 1993), the third novel by Roberto Bolaño, as an exponent of the Ibero-American neopolicial, focusing on how two of the main dramatic elements of the detective tale, the enigma and the detective fi gure, are decentralized through a series of narrative mechanisms that eventually dismantle traditional genre conventions. Furthermore, we will link La pista de hielo and its narrative key elements with the rest of the novelistic of the Chilean author, as well as with the main exponents of the neopolicial, such as Paco Ignacio Taibo II, Leonardo Padura or Ramón Díaz Eterovic.

O presente artigo científico tem a pretensão de analisar a forma como normalmente são recebidas, tratadas e distribuídas, na Polícia Federal, as notícias de crime de desvio de recursos públicos federais repassados às prefeituras municipais. Como, nesses casos, a instauração de numerososinquéritos policiais, de imediato, a partir de notícias de crime isoladamente consideradas, sem nenhum tratamento prévio, contribui para a baixa efetividade das investigações, a partir do momento em que se perde o foco na possível atuação de uma organização criminosa, sem falar nouso inadequado dos poucos recursos humanos e materiais disponíveis. Propõe-se que, a despeito da obrigatoriedade da instauração do inquérito policial, as notícias de crimes que versem sobre o desvio de recursos públicos federais destinados às prefeituras sejam preliminarmente analisadas, com o objetivo de identificar a possível atuação de uma organização criminosa em comum, e posteriormente reunidas em um só procedimento inve...

Following the death of Francisco Franco in 1975 as well as the subsequent Transition to democracy and desencanto felt throughout Spain, the novela negra was the genre of choice for many Spanish writers who sought to expose the existing socio-political concerns of the moment. As Shelley Godsland articulates in her analysis of women's crime fiction in Spain, the novela negra is a sub-genre that, like its North American predecessors, features a "lone private eye very much at odds with the social environment within which he operated, investigating crimes that uncovered high-level corruption and law-breaking as well as other ills that plagued society" (2007 , 6). The perceived failure of the democratic system and the (un)official compulsion to suppress any memory of a painful, inconvenient past or truth have contributed to the overwhelming popularity of crime narrative on the Peninsula. Nevertheless, Godsland reminds us that female-authored crime fiction tends to be overlooked in both national and international explorations of the genre, an oversight that she insists literary scholars must rectify. Since the turn of the millennium, various female Peninsular novelists have endeavored to give voice to marginalized individuals-women, in particular-whose stories were silenced for far too long. As a result, women writers offer a perspective that departs from the official version of the truth. By unearthing the details of, or shedding new light on, an obscure past and crime, their unconventional detectives or killers are compelled to reflect not only on the problematic concepts of truth and fabrication, but also upon their own past and identity as well. This chapter examines the inextricable connection among the notions of truth and lie, memory , and identity in three novels by contemporary female authors from the Basque Country, Madrid, and Galicia: Dolores Redondo's El guardián invisible [ Zaindari Ikusezina ] (2013), Rosa Montero's Lágrimas en la lluvia (2011), and Marina Mayoral's Casi perfecto [ Case perfecto ] (2007), respectively. While these novelists infuse the local color of a particular region of Spain into their novels, their respective works underscore universal themes that transcend cultural and geographical origins. For one, all three protagonists are women who occupy positions of power (as professional detectives, police inspectors, and novelists), yet they also grapple with varying degrees of gender discrimination and existential insecurity in a patriarchal society. It is in their search for justice and in their reconstruction of the truth that these women come to better understand themselves and the cases to which they are tied.
