Martin Beagles, The Times Literary SupplementENGLISH DESCRIPTION
"Don’t take me for one of those little rich girls lost in the breadlines. I’m a Soviet agent, and your fascist criminal bosses could hold you accountable."
March of 1937. While the Spanish Civil War continues its tragic path, a new mission takes Lorenzo Falcó to Tangier, the turbulent crossroads of spies, smuggling, and conspiracies, with the mission to get the captain of a ship loaded with the Bank of Spain’s gold to switch flags. National spies, republicans and Soviets, men and women, all face off in a dark, dirty war in which dangerous ghosts of the past resurface.
