José Manuel del Río (A Coruña, 1982) resides in Barcelona and works as a criminal lawyer and cultural journalist. His debut with the novel "Marea Roja" (Red Tide) (Ediciones B, 2019), a comprehensive work on drug trafficking, was a critical success that continued with "La Milicia de la Noche" (The Night Militia) (Ediciones B, 2020), cementing him as one of the most eclectic voices in today's publishing landscape.
A brilliant prose writer and dialogist, Del Río uses fascinating historical contexts to show us the darkest side of human nature with border characters and raw realism. His latest book, "A bocajarro" (Point-Blank), is a police novel of yesteryear, where goodness mixes with pettiness and, thanks to his exceptional style, cruelty borders delicacy.
