Los sudarios no tienen bolsillos by Horace McCoy

4.0

The first time I read something from Horace McCoy was "They shoot horses, don't they?" and I can say that's likely the book that impressed me the most in 2019. So when "No pockets in a shroud" came to my hands I was quite curious to know if Horace McCoy could get my interest again and...he did! The book tells a story about a reporter from a small town that is tired of being held back in his investigations by economical and political interests. The most impressive thing is that the book focus on different themes that are so actual to us: press freedom and fake news, women rights, xenophobia, sports corruption. This is a book written in 1937, but it's style and the story it tells definitely don't show it's age.
