Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. I waited for you.Four words engraved on the back of a Royal Navy medal. A grandfather who died in silence after a lifetime spent waiting for someone. A grandson who opens a trunk in a Norfolk attic - and does not yet know he is about to open a war.Gran Canaria, today. A clock stopped at seve…n exactly. A forgotten stone house among the dunes of El Salobre. A bundle of letters no one was ever meant to read.Luke Harris is a retired history professor, widowed three years, a house in Norfolk that still breathes to the rhythm of his wife. When his grandfather James dies, he travels to Gran Canaria believing he is settling an inheritance. He is about to open a great deal more.In that distant December, James Harris was a young SOE agent - British intelligence - planted among the Nazis sheltering in the Canaries under Franco's protection. He had photographed something that could have changed history. And he had chosen to hide it rather than carry it home.Eighty years on, someone is still willing to kill to find it. They call him the Spider. He has waited thirty years - his father and grandfather had waited far longer. And now the prey has come of its own accord, walking across the threads of his web.Among the volcanic caves of Tiritana, the port of Las Palmas, the Maspalomas lighthouse and a sleeping submarine that official history has forgotten, Luke pieces together, step by step, what his grandfather had sealed away. Beside him is Diego - a local taxi driver, too clever and too wry to be a chance encounter, and too present to remain only a companion in the search.'The island has its secrets. But it doesn't keep them for ever. It only needs the right moment.'A historical noir thriller weaving two eras, two men, and a single long Atlantic shadow. A story in which everyone - the grandfather, the grandson, the enemy, the friend who was not yet a friend - is waiting for something or someone.And each, sooner or later, receives an answer.A story born of the German presence in the Canary Islands during Franco's supposed neutrality, of the Reich's escape routes to South America, and of the never fully declassified files of the Special Operations Executive.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. I waited for you.Quattro parole incise sul retro di una medaglia della Royal Navy. Un nonno morto in silenzio dopo una vita intera trascorsa ad aspettare qualcuno. Un nipote che apre un baule in una soffitta del Norfolk e non sa ancora che sta per aprire una guerra.Gran Canaria, oggi. Un oro…logio fermo sulle sette in punto. Una casa di pietra dimenticata tra le dune di El Salobre. Una pila di lettere che nessuno avrebbe mai dovuto leggere.Luke Harris e un professore di storia in pensione, vedovo da tre anni, una casa nel Norfolk che ancora respira al ritmo di sua moglie. Quando suo nonno James muore, parte per Gran Canaria credendo di chiudere un'eredita. Sta per aprire molto di piu.In quel dicembre lontano, James Harris era un giovane agente della SOE - il servizio segreto britannico - infiltrato tra i nazisti rifugiati alle Canarie sotto la protezione di Franco. Aveva fotografato qualcosa che avrebbe potuto cambiare la storia. E aveva scelto di nasconderlo invece di portarlo a casa.Ottant'anni dopo, qualcuno e ancora disposto a uccidere per ritrovarlo. Lo chiamano Il Ragno. Aspetta da soli trent'anni - suo padre e suo nonno avevano aspettato molto di piu. E adesso la preda e arrivata da sola, e sta camminando sui fili della sua tela.Tra le grotte vulcaniche di Tiritana, il porto di Las Palmas, il faro di Maspalomas e un sommergibile dormiente che la storia ufficiale ha dimenticato, Luke ricostruisce passo dopo passo cio che suo nonno aveva sigillato. Accanto a lui c'e Diego - un tassista del posto, troppo intelligente e troppo ironico per essere un incontro casuale, e troppo presente per restare soltanto un compagno di indagine.L'isola ha i suoi segreti. Ma non li tiene per sempre. Serve solo il momento giusto.Un thriller storico noir che intreccia due epoche, due uomini, e un'unica lunga ombra atlantica. Una storia in cui tutti - il nonno, il nipote, il nemico, l'amico che non era ancora un amico - stanno aspettando qualcosa o qualcuno.E ognuno, prima o poi, riceve la sua risposta.Una storia che nasce dalla presenza tedesca alle Canarie durante la presunta neutralita di Franco, dalle rotte di fuga del Reich verso il Sud America e dai dossier mai del tutto declassificati dello Special Operations Executive.
