Esteban Navarro Soriano (born 18 March 1965, in Moratalla, Murcia, Spain) is a Spanish novelist. He is known for being one of the pioneers in digital publishing. Was an agent of the national police from 1994 to 2018.
Career
In 2008 the novel The Bering Reactor won a prize in the Katharsis short story contest.
In April 2011 he was awarded at the La Balsa de Piedra contest, organized by the José Saramago Foundation, for his novel El Buen Padre. The novel is included as a guide to getting to know Madrid, the city where it is set.
The novel La casa de enfrente (The House Across the Street) is a paradigm of digital publishing, since its author is considered one of the pioneers. In a short time it became one of the best selling ebooks.
In January 2013, he was a finalist in the 69th edition of the Premio Nadal with the novel La noche de los peones.
His novel Una historia de policías has been very controversial, because Navarro, being a police officer, is about a mafia inside the national police. The publication Business Insider chose this novel as a representation of the city of Huesca (Spain).
His novella La cuarta memoria was chosen for the Lloret Negre Black Novel Festival as the best black novel published in 2022.
In the book El Ajedrecista, written by Esteban Navarro Soriano, drug trafficker Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela is described as someone very influential who liked to get along with Mexican show business stars such as Roberto Gómez Bolaños Chespirito or El Chavo del 8.

Controversy
In 2017, the Directorate-General of the Police opened an Information File of him in his capacity as an official of the National Police after having published his novel A history of police, although the author unlinked the file with the publication of this work.
This news had a lot of media coverage even in international newspapers, such as The Guardian.
In the indictment they pointed out that "some officials of the police station in Huesca" were worried that their activity in social networks would damage the image of the body to which it belongs.
