What is it about?
Juan Gómez-Jurado, author of the Spanish crime fiction trilogy Red Queen, has always confessed his admiration for Arturo Pérez-Reverte, as well as for several writers and film directors. My claim is that Gómez-Jurado not only uses them as inspiration, but also as intertextual and intermedial references for his texts. In doing so, he recreates the atmosphere and the human experience in a very concrete way, mixing up traits of Sherlock Holmes, James Moriarty, Harry Bosch, Phillip Marlowe, V. I.Warshawski or Tom Ripley, for example, as well as a umber of songs and movies.

Why is it important?
Even though, since Cervantes, novels have been acknowledged as hybrid products, little has been said about the way the interaction of cinema, tv series, songs and other artistic expressions in crime fiction. And this is particularly true in tha case of Spanish crime fiction.
