Manuel Hurtado Marjalizo
Immerse yourself in Manuel Hurtado Marjalizo's fast-paced novel, a masterful web of suspense, double identities, and unexpected twists that transports the reader from World War I to 1950s Spain.
At the dawn of World War I, Fabián Aguilera, a young man with a turbulent past and an aimless life, yearns to escape the monotony and ghosts of his past in Madrid. He identifies an opening at the Paris Consulate as the perfect opportunity to rewrite his destiny and radically change his life. What he considers an escape, however, is only the first step in a much larger scheme. His appointment, however, is far from a fortuitous coincidence, and as soon as he sets foot in the bustling French capital, he finds himself drawn into a complex intrigue, part of a bold plan concocted by the Allied powers to intercept and reveal Kaiser Wilhelm II's military secrets. Decades later, in an era of post-war and still visible scars, the wealthy and dying Matías Zimmerman places his last hope in ex-policeman Federico Andrade. His commission is clear, though enigmatic: to find a woman from his past, of whom he only retains a fragmented memory and an enigmatic photograph in front of the iconic Brandenburg Gate. In exchange for this vital search, Zimmerman promises Andrade the revelation of a secret as profound as it is unexpected, capable of rewriting known history and shaking the foundations of his own existence. A thrilling novel that masterfully interweaves suspense, double identities, and the most unexpected twists, transporting the reader from the bustling streets of turn-of-the-century Madrid to the diplomatic salons of a wartime Paris, passing through gloomy Berlin and the sunny coasts of post-war Malaga, on a journey spanning from the turbulent Europe of World War I to 1950s Spain.
