About the Author
Ramón Palomar nació en Nancy (Francia), hijo de padres valencianos. Vivió en Tánger, donde estudió en un colegio francés y, posteriormente, se trasladó a Valencia, donde cursó el bachillerato. Inició la carrera de Filología Románica aunque, por caprichos del destino, terminó dedicándose a la comunicación. Conduce uno de los programas matinales de radio más seguidos en Valencia (99.9 Plaza Radio) y colabora como columnista en los periódicos Las Provincias y ABC.
En 2013 publicó Sesenta kilos, cuyo noir cañí recibió una cálida bienvenida de los lectores y la crítica. Seis años más tarde, refrendó la singularidad de su voz en el panorama del noir español con La gallera. En esta ocasión, y siguiendo la misma senda, nos presenta El novio de la muerte.
