For his partner, John May, his loss means the end of a friendship of more than siglo.Buscando half tracks, May investigates his friend's notes on his first case and soon realizes that the past has returned ... with murderous intent. The representation of Orpheus in hell, decades ago, was the trigger a series of crimes that young detectives dragged into a gruesome mystery.

Fowler's prose, between dark humor and even poetry becomes an incentive, by itself, to read the novel. But you can not dismiss the unforgettable portrait of two players, the aforementioned Bryant and May, as charismatic as any lover could dream detective genre. The sections concerning the relationship and the personality of both detectives are wonderful.

As for the story, a sinister farce where nothing is as it seems, is achieved at all times an uneasy atmosphere in which it is almost impossible to guess what happens next. The play of shadows and lighting, interior and exterior, reality and fiction is accompanied by a vivid portrait of the times of war, with the parts set in the past without doubt the best.

The outcome of this splendid novel, it remains to match, as flawless as the rest of the novel and a moment without deviating from the central idea.

Ultimately, Christopher Fowler, an author still little known in these parts, has entered through the front door quality. Published in Spain hopefully the rest of his series on Bryant and May, which reported new cases are resolved in the past by the Peculiar Crimes Unit.

Without truth there is no journalism

"The journalist has a commitment to the citizens, so their primary obligation to seek the truth." "It's very difficult for information to be completely objective, but what is essential is that it is true." "If you lie even if only in the color of the eyes, the value of information and greatly diminished credibility of the journalist."

how are you

Phrases are repeated by the teachers of the degree in journalism, especially during the first year. And that is the first major premise must have the journalist, his pattern to follow is always searching for the truth. However, there are some, like Stephen Glass, who prefer to violate the ethical principles in order to maintain a high reputation in his own writing, even at the risk of making it means you lose that reputation.
case I am talking about happened in 1998. The prestigious U.S. magazine The New Republic fired in May of that year the journalist Stephen Glass after uncovering a huge scandal magnitude. Glass was discovered after committing several cases of journalistic fraud, specifically in 27 of its 41 articles or works, in which the vast majority of the data was the invention of its author.

Article which led to the discovery called Paradise Hacker, involving an alleged teenage hacker, who was hired to work in a large company having entered into their systems by exposing security weaknesses. It is noteworthy that at the time of starting the shooting on digital journalism, was exactly half digital Forbes.com, who uncover the big lie of Stephen Glass, by reporter Adam Penenberg mainly. The case was later made into a film in 2003 with the film The Shattered , starring Hayden Christensen .

The truth is that the case gives a lack of ethics and journalistic standards in spurts. Perhaps most of the responsibility is of course the author of the farce, he should not have the guts to call themselves a journalist. But the fact remains that the magazine fell into a monumental error, not being able to verify the information provided on any occasion Glass. In any case, a profession that in itself is sometimes accused of dishonesty will make much of a dent scandals of this kind, honest dirty work that they do make many other professionals. And is that your lack of veracity, Glass soiled the name and the image of an institution in American journalism.
