While the Civil War continues its tragic course, a new mission takes Lorenzo Falcó to Tangiers, a turbulent crossroads of spies, illicit trafficking and conspiracies, with the task of getting the captain of a ship loaded with gold from the Bank of Spain to change his flag. National spies, Republicans and Soviets, men and women, confront each other in a dark and dirty war in which dangerous ghosts of the past will end up returning.
No me tengas por una de esas burguesitas perdidas entre las filas obreras. Soy una agente soviética, y tus criminales jefes fascistas podrían pedirte cuentas. (Don't think of me as one of those little bourgeois lost among the ranks of the workers. I am a Soviet agent, and your criminal fascist bosses may call you to account).
“Well-documented and perfectly traced, Falcó reflects the many narrative abilities of the author. The reader gets trapped until the end, waiting for unexpected surprises.”
By Martín Beagles, The Times Literary Supplement
