Madrid 13 January, 1953: The Spanish Civil War has been over for 13 years, but Franco swore he would never forgive or forget his opponents. And he hasn’t. At dawn tomorrow, 15 enemies of the state will be rounded up and executed. Shot in the head if they are lucky, garrotted if they aren’t. Their bodies wont be found for 57 years, tangled bones in a disused mine. For Ana María Galindez a forensic investigator with the Guardia Civil, it will be her first encounter with the work of Comandante Guzmán. But not her last.
Guzmán was the head of the notorious Brigada Especial, Franco’s secret police and the fear behind the dictator’s power. So why, like his victims, did Guzmán vanish from history amid the winter blizzards of 1953? To find out, Ana María will have to risk her life. She’ll discover, as Guzmán did, that you can’t escape the past.
The Sentinel is the first instalment in a trilogy of rare narrative power, scope and ambition, An unforgettable journey into the dark heart of Spain, it weaves past and present together to portray scarred by the civil war, riven by fear and hatred and still haunted by the echo of lethal secrets.
José – Oh, I can see why those books are on your wish list! I especially want to read the Meyer and the Connelly too. There goes my book budget…
I’m looking forward to the Meyer and Nesbo too Jose.
I’ve got the Meyer, McDermid and Robotham books high on my TBR too…am so far behind in the Nesbo series I wonder if I will ever catch up
Just read the Robotham ‘Say You’re Sorry’- what a treat! Am looking forward to the Nesbo as well to see where it all began and a resurrected Rebus tale from Rankin will be worth a read I’m sure…
