Death Of A Nationalist by Rebecca Pawel
Madrid, 1938. Carlos Tejada Alonso y Leon is a sergeant in the Guardia Civil, caught in the civil war between the Nationalist and the Republicans. A dedicated, and now triumphant, Nationalist, Tajeda is shocked to find the body of his best friend in the streets of their recently won city. Naturally, a Red Republican-backer is suspected, and it is easy for Tejada to assume that the woman wearing a red scarf, caught kneeling over the body, is the killer. But when his doubts are aroused, he cannot help seeking justice.
Rebecca Pawel lives in New York City and is pursuing a PhD in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Her widely praised first novel, Death of a Nationalist, won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel and was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist, as well as a best book of the year in the Chicago Tribune, Publishers Weekly and Detroit Free Press.
