Temps de rates (Premi Crims de Tinta 2017)
by Marc MorenoPREPARA'T PER NO PARAR DE CÓRRER. Tot comença quan un traficant que fuig encoloma una motxilla plena de cocaïna al seu veí de replà.Vuit quilets de no res. I que li guardi mentre és fora, li diu. L’Eloi –perquè el veí es diu Eloi– s’espanta, pateix, no sap què fer. I així passa les setmanes, mort de por amb els vuit quilos sota el llit. Però un dia, per lluir davant els col·legues del parc, n’agafa una mica. I després una mica més. I conviden unes noies, també. Quines festes, xaval. I això el fa popular al barri, és clar.El rei del mambo, que diríem. Però també atreu l’atenció dels mafiosos de la Verneda, els rivals del traficant, els mossos corruptes... que cada cop tenen més ganes de saber qui és aquest Eloi i d’on surt tanta coca de primera qualitat.
