DESCRIPTION - The turbulent politics of Latin America and the turmoil of Spain in 1975 are the background to an intricate, cleverly plotted and highly entertaining thriller. Through the icy winter streets of Madrid ranks of mourners make their way to the palace where their dead leader, General Francisco Franco, lies in state. Roberto Fairrie, elderly Peron expert and lifelong opponent of Fascism, tries to shake off the sinister figures who have shadowed him since he first became involved with the tapes that many believe are the uncensored reminiscences of the late Argentinian dictator Juan Peron. Locked deep in a bank vault in Madrid, these tapes are rumored to contain sensational revelations - not only about the extent of Argentina's links with the Nazis and the whereabouts of the world's most wanted war criminal, Martin Bormann, but also about the whispered incestuous relationship that Peron's idolized wife, Evita, had with her brother. The revelation of these secrets could both destroy the powerful Peron myth in Argentina and shake the world. Called in to help authenticate their provenance by a British journalist who stands to make enormous gains if he can prove that another set of tapes held by a television network is a fraud, Fairrie finds himself trapped in a frightening vortex of conspiracy, deceit and violent death. As journalists, Spanish aristocrats, the CIA and a glamorous Czech refugee with whom he falls in love try to manipulate him by any means, Fairrie learns that he is the target for a Nazi-trained killer hired to protect the most closely guarded secrets of the Fourth Reich and that he has only four days, while Franco lies in state, to prove whether the tapes are genuine or a fantastic hoax. inventory #2011.
