Gernika

Product Description
A thriller and spy novel. The nine aircraft flew over the city around six thirty in the afternoon. The citizens suffered more than two hours of the longest bombing of the entire war. The enemy's order was to cause maximum damage, and many residents were burned to death by fire or strafed by fighter planes. Dozens of bodies were strewn on otherwise peaceful city streets. The blaze burned was out of control. Within hours, the historical capital of the Basque town Gernika was flattened--a dead city.In April 1937, former police commissioner Alfonso Ros is required by the high command to investigate the suspicious death of Damian von Veltheim, captain of the Legion sent by Hitler to help win the war. Among the intrigue, political conspiracies, and double agents, Alfonso conducts his investigation, accompanied by German Lieutenant Raymond Maurer and enigmatic Italian Delilah. Along the way, he discovers that he is not investigating murder in Spain during a bloody war, but an international conspiracy, which if successful would change the course of history as we know it--and which many are determined to continue hiding from the world at any price.Una novela policiaca y de espias. Los nueve aparatos penetraron en el cielo de la ciudad alrededor de las seis y media de la tarde. La poblacion llevaba mas de dos horas sufriendo el bombardeo mas largo de toda la guerra... La orden era causar el mayor dano posible y muchos vecinos murieron abrasados por el fuego o ametrallados por los cazas. Decenas de cuerpos se extendian por las pacificas calles de la ciudad. El fuego se habia propagado de tal manera que era imposible de apagar... En unas horas, la historica capital del pueblo vasco estaba arrasada... Gernika era ya una ciudad muerta. En abril de 1937, Alfonso Ros, antiguo comisario de policia atrapado dentro de la zona del bando nacional, es requerido por los altos mandos del ejercito sublevado para investigar la sospechosa muerte de Damian von Veltheim, capitan de la Legion Condor enviada por Hitler para ayudar a Franco a ganar la guerra. En una Salamanca llena de intrigas, conspiraciones politicas y dobles agentes, segun avanza su investigacion, Alfonso, acompanado del teniente aleman Raymond Maurer y de la enigmatica italiana Dalila, se encuentra con que en realidad no esta investigando un asesinato mas en una Espana herida por una guerra cruenta e interminable, sino una conspiracion internacional que, de llegar a triunfar, cambiaria el curso de la historia tal y como la conocemos, y que muchos estan empenados en seguir ocultando a los ojos del mundo a cualquier precio.
