A traves de una prosa precisa y sobria que crea intriga y atrapa al lector hasta el final, Javier Reverte muestra el contraste entre la miseria de la poblacion y la fortuna de los ganadores del conflicto belico, que utilizaron el poder que cayo en sus manos para enriquecerse a costa del sufrimiento de otros.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe magnificent posthumous novel of an icon of modern Spanish literature.In 1952, at the height of the Franco regime, the body of an American spy is discovered at a barracks in Madrid alongside a dead horse and dog.
