The Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Arturo P rez-Reverte returns with a novel whose main character is his most fascinating one since Captain Alatriste. Violence, power struggle, suspense, loyalty and passion make up this addictive, extraordinary novel.
Falc 's world was another one, and in it the opponents were perfectly defined: on one side, it was him, on the other, everyone else. A turbulent Europe during the thirties and forties in the twentieth century, is the backdrop for the adventures of Lorenzo Falc , ex-smuggler of arms, spy without scruples, agent of the secret intelligence services. During the fall of 1936, when the border between friends and enemies is reduced to a dangerous and unprecise fine line, Falc is given the task of infiltrating a complicated mission that could change the course of Spain's history. One man, two women -the Montero brothers and Eva Rengel- will be his adventure companions and perhaps his victims, during a time in which life is written treason by treason and nothing is what it seems. Arturo P rez-Reverte masterfully intertwines reality and fiction in this story whose new and fascinating main character joins the greatest spies and adventurers in literature.
