The purpose of this article is to think about the suppression of linear time in ‘Tetralogy of the Four Seasons’ by Leonardo Padura, in the light of notions such as ‘chronotope’ and ‘ouroboros’. The first of the neo-crime novels by Padura gathered in the above-mentioned tetralogy, are not adjusted to the archetypal, sequential chronological sequence of the classic crime and noir novel genre. On the contrary, they participate in the tension between the circular succession of history and the utopian disillusionment of a detective who pins his scant hopes on the future. The overlap of these times, in a skilfully worked narrative, allows the plotting of interpretative lines from which it will be possible to characterise the neo-crime style of Padura.
