Zepeda Patterson, Jorge - A black trikó - Versenyben a halállal

There are cyclists who would die to win a stage, taking on suicidal descents at ninety kilometers per hour; and now I know that some people can even kill to win.

A strange series of unfortunate events shakes the peace of the most famous elite bicycle race, the Tour de France, and attracts the attention of the police. All signs point to a mysterious killer taking his victims, who wants to get one of the competitors to the yellow jersey belonging to the champion, at any cost.
The police ask Marc Moreau, a cyclist who once served in the ranks of the military police, to help uncover the cause of the mysterious events. At first, Marc lulls himself into the belief that they only lasted one cursed year, but as the days go by, he gradually realizes that he has to compete not only with his opponents, the kilometers and the stopwatch, but also with death, honor, friendship, betrayal and slaloming between the milestones of love. All the participants are suspects, anyone can be either a culprit or a victim, and someone from his immediate environment, from among the people dearest to his heart, plays Marco. In the end, he must decide: is truth, loyalty, or glory more important to him?
Balanced on the borderline of classic crime and thriller, this dynamic novel introduces the reader to the hermetically sealed world of the legendary bicycle race, where strategies and intrigues, muscles and nerves clash against the backdrop of the picturesque peaks of the Pyrenees and the Alps, and where not only kilometers but the competitors are also getting thinner day by day...
