Перевод:

Мануэль Васкес Монтальбан был создателем самого известного испанского детектива — Хосе «Пепе» Карвальо. Монтальбан был испанским писателем, поэтом и журналистом. Он родился в Барселоне и очень любил этот город. Персонаж Пепе впервые появился в романе в 1972 году, но с годами он сильно изменился. Монтальбан никогда не уставал от своего персонажа и поэтому не убивал его в своих рассказах. Вместо этого детектив Пепе Карвальо, к сожалению, умер вместе со своим создателем в 2003 году.
