«El mundo de Falcó era otro, y allà los bandos estaban perfectamente definidos: de una parte él, y de la otra todos los demás. La Europa turbulenta de los años treinta y cuarenta del siglo XX es el escenario de las andanzas de Lorenzo Falcó, ex contrabandista de armas, espÃa sin escrúpulos, agente de los servicios de inteligencia. Durante el otoño de 1936, mientras la frontera entre amigos y enemigos se reduce a una lÃnea imprecisa y peligrosa, Falcó recibe el encargo de infiltrarse en una difÃcil misión que podrÃa cambiar el curso de la historia de España. Un hombre y dos mujeres -los hermanos Montero y Eva Rengel- serán sus compañeros de aventura y tal vez sus vÃctimas, en un tiempo en el que la vida se escribe a golpe de traiciones y nada es lo que parece. Arturo Pérez-Reverte entrelaza magistralmente realidad y ficción en esta historia protagonizada por un nuevo y fascinante personaje, comparable a los más destacados espÃas y aventureros de la literatura. La crÃtica ha dicho... «Arturo Pérez-Reverte sabe cómo retener al lector a cada vuelta de página.
The New York Times Book Review «Arturo Pérez-Reverte consigue mantener sin aliento al lector.
Corriere della Sera «Los lectores no serán capaces de volver la página lo suficientemente rápido.
Publishers Weekly «Hay un escritor español que se parece al mejor Spielberg más Umberto Eco. Se llama Arturo-Pérez-Reverte.
La Repubblica «Su sabidurÃa narrativa, tan bien construida siempre, tan exhaustivamente detallada, documentada y estructurada, hasta el punto de que, frente a todo ello, la historia real resulta más endeble y a veces hasta tópica.
Rafael Conte «Arturo Pérez-Reverte nos hace disfrutar de un juego inteligente entre historia y ficción.
The Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Arturo Pérez-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.
Falcó'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 Falcó, 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, Falcó 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 Pérez-Reverte masterfully intertwines reality and fiction in this story whose new and fascinating main character joins the greatest spies and adventurers in literature.
