Barcelona, finales de 1969. El marqués de Soto, don Julio Urquízar, es hallado muerto y con signos de violencia. Lo que se esconde tras este trágico suceso empezó a fraguarse a principios de ese mismo año...
Seis meses antes. El mundo de esplendor en el que el marqués vivía se tambalea. Por un lado, le acecha el peligro de la ruina económica. Por otro, la relación con su esposa lleva años inmersa en una especie de guerra fría, y su primogénito se comporta como un irresponsable vástago de casa rica. El marqués solo se siente cercano a su hija Marina, una universitaria aburrida de su ambiente con ansia de explorar otros lugares, barrios y amores.
Esta curiosidad será la que llevará a la joven a iniciar una apasionada relación con Jaco, el hijo de su antigua niñera, que aspira a salir de la pobreza gracias al boxeo. Pero mientras el romance avanza a escondidas, una amenaza empieza a cernirse sobre la furtiva pareja: un oscuro plan que marcará sus destinos y los de aquellos a quienes más aman.
Chufo Lloréns, el gran cronista de Barcelona, nos transporta hacia una ciudad turbulenta de barrios adinerados y callejones sórdidos, en esta fascinante historia de amor, ambición, decadencia y sueños de libertad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Impossible relationships, private vices, and a crime that altered everyone's life in Barcelona, in the nineteen sixties.
Barcelona, late 1969. The Marquis de Soto, Don Julio Urquízar, is found dead and shows signs of violence. What is behind this tragic incident began earlier that year...
Six months prior. The world of splendor where the Marquis lives falters. On one hand, the danger of financial ruin is lurking. On the other hand, his relationship with his wife has been immersed in some sort of cold war, and his first-born son behaves like the irresponsible offspring of a rich man. The Marquis only feels close to his daughter, Marina, an undergraduate bored with her environment, eager to explore other places, neighborhoods, and romances.
Curiosity will lead the young woman to start a passionate affair with Jaco, her former nanny's son, who tries to escape poverty through boxing. But while their romance progresses in secret, a threat begins to loom over the furtive couple: a dark plan that will mark their fate and the fate of those they love the most.
Chufo Lloréns, Barcelona's great chronicler, transports us to a turbulent city of upscale neighborhoods and sordid alleys, in this fascinating story of love, ambition, decadence, and dreams of freedom.

About the Author
Entre sus obras destacan Catalina, la fugitiva de San Benito (2008), La otra lepra (2010) y La saga de los malditos (2011), todas ellas publicadas en Debolsillo. Te daré la tierra (2008) y Mar de fuego (2011), publicadas en Grijalbo y ambientadas en la Barcelona medieval, fueron grandes éxitos de ventas y le han convertido en uno de los autores más reputados entre los lectores de novela histórica, tanto en España como en el extranjero. Los derechos de traducción se han vendido en doce países, sumando más de 1.000.000 de ejemplares en todo el mundo. Tras ese aclamado díptico medieval, Chufo Lloréns retomaría otro período histórico, la Barcelona modernista, para su monumental La ley de los justos (Grijalbo, 2015).
En El destino de los héroes (Grijalbo, 2020), el autor nos ofrece una intensa visión de las primeras décadas del siglo XX y de los grandes conflictos que se vivieron en Europa y España durante esos años.
