Par Roberto Sánchez. 2020
Una historia sobre la amistad y los primeros amores, de crímenes y abusos en la España más negra, de traiciones…
y dulces venganzas. Una ucronía donde nadie podrá demostrar que todo lo que le ocurre a Ramón Santolaya no pasó tal y como él lo cuenta. 24 de octubre de 2019. Ramón Santolaya, en calidad de secretario de Estado, asiste como testigo al acto de exhumación de Francisco Franco en El Valle de los Caídos. Posteriormente, desde el coche oficial, observa el vuelo que porta el féretro hasta Mingorrubio. Sin embargo, los restos del dictador nunca llegan a su destino. El helicóptero que los traslada se estrella pocos minutos después del despegue. ¿Atentado? ¿Accidente? Está a punto de que se descubra la gran verdad, de que se desvele uno de los secretos mejor guardados de la reciente historia de España. Santolaya teme que lo puedan relacionar con los hechos y decide que es el momento de huir, de abandonar una carrera que le ha llevado hasta la fontanería de La Moncloa pasando por los servicios de inteligencia. Desde la dictadura a la democracia, más de cuarenta años siempre muy cerca del poder y la toma de decisiones. En su viaje evoca el pasado en la Barcelona de finales de los sesenta, cuando siendo un ocioso adolescente, la casualidad hizo que empezara a trabajar como lazarillo de un ilustre norteamericano, un agregado comercial con buenos contactos en la embajada. McNamara, sin embargo, se encargaba de tejer las redes de contactos entre todos aquellos actores interesados en tener un papel destacado en la inminente transición española. La crítica ha dicho...«Ágil, chispeante, tremendamente imaginativa. Roberto Sánchez demuestra en esta novela de picaresca e intrigas que se puede inventar el pasado de tal manera que lo rocambolesco parece verosímil.»Elvira Lindo «Bien escrita, bien trazada y bien resuelta, esta novela en un magnífico retrato a la vez irónico y melancólico de un tiempo y un país que se fueron, pero han dejado huella.»Benjamín Prado«Un trepidante thriller político y de misterio. Consigue mezclar muy bien la ficción y el realismo.»MEW Magazine «Roberto Sánchez le echa mucha imaginación (o no...) a esta historia de espías y te lleva de la mano por una España no tan lejana. Muy buena lectura.»Susana Martin Gijón «Conuna buena mezcla de ficción y realidad, nos paseamos por la más reciente historia de España. Muy recomendable.»Pasar página «Una emocionante ucronía, llena de intriga, misterio y personajes interesantes.»La orilla de las letras «Una novela de tono ligero con bastante peso de fondo, escrita por alguien cuyo talento narrativo se va poniendo más de manifiesto con cada nuevo libro que publica.»Actos de lecturaThe Helsinki Affair

It takes grit to succeed in this male-dominated world—but one hot summer day, when a Russian defector walks into her post, Amanda is given the ultimate chance to prove herself. The defector warns of the imminent assassination of a US senator. Though Amanda takes the warning seriously, her superiors don&’t. Twenty-four hours later, the senator is dead.

Teaming up with Kath Frost, a fearless older woman and legendary spy, Amanda races from Rome to London, from St. Petersburg to Helsinki, unraveling the international conspiracy. But as she gets closer and closer to the truth, a central question haunts her: Why was her father&’s name written down in the senator&’s notes? What does Charlie Cole really know about the Kremlin plot? The Helsinki Affair is a riveting, globe-trotting spy thriller—but this time, with a refreshing female-centric twist.

Par William Heffernan. 2014
The electrifying follow-up to The CorsicanCold War Marseille is a city of shadowy alliances and loose morals, where a good…
man can lose sight of which side he is really on and evil men profit from the misery and confusion of others. It is therefore the perfect town for Ernst Ludwig, an East German terrorist who is sadistic beyond measure. But when Ludwig kidnaps and murders the wife of Alex Moran, the US intelligence agent hot on his trail, he sets off a blood feud whose violent shock waves will span decades and reach all the way across the globe. To avenge his wife&’s death, Moran turns to his &“uncles&” in the Corsican Mafia, Antoine and Meme Pisani. The Pisanis have been in league with US intelligence since the 1940s, when Moran&’s father, a CIA agent, sought their help in suppressing Communist agitators. But the height of the Cold War is a more complicated era, and Moran is forced to resign when his personal alliance with the underworld threatens to shed light on murky dealings between the US government and the mob—dealings that are way above his pay grade. Ten years later, he is called back into action when Ludwig resurfaces as the chief henchman of a Colombian drug lord bent on bringing the Pisani brothers to their knees. Given another chance at revenge, Moran will stop at nothing to bring the German&’s reign of terror to a grisly end. William Heffernan&’s return to the bestselling world of Corsican crime and international espionage is a thriller so propulsive it grabs you by the throat on the very first page and never lets go.
