Dopio gjashta – Double Six

 

Novel, p. 210, Botime Pegi 2015

 

It is an Albanian detective novel. The protagonist, Bardhyl, is a former police officer who has decided to resign from the State Police and get a professional license as a private investigator. His normal routine changes when everyone starts believing he is in possession of a secret file. This will take Bardhyl to act not only in a world of honest and corrupted politicians and policeman, but also secret services, criminal interests and former communists, because the past never really leaves. Clearly influenced by authors like Raymond Chandler, Paco Ignacio Taibo II and Joe R. Lansdale among all, the book seems to use crime as a way to describe and explain the society.
