The bitter war between the Nationalists and the Republicans has drawn international attention, drawing fascists and communists from around Europe. When the Nationalists triumph in Madrid and begin to impose order, Tejada finds the body of his friend and goes in search of justice.Rebecca Pawel is a PhD candidate in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University in New York City.
