About the Book

Novena entrega de la serie del Inspector Mascarell, Diez días de junio nos devuelve a un pasado no muy lejano, a la cruel realidad de los internados franquistas, con el hambre y las humillaciones de los hijos e hijas de los derrotados, apartados de sus padres «por su bien» y convertidos, en muchos casos, en carne de cañón de la peor de las barbaries.

Junio de 1951, durante los días de la verbena de San Juan. Miquel Mascarell descubre por sorpresa que un viejo enemigo está vivo y libre. Es Laureano Andrada, el único hombre al que apuntó con una pistola y deseó matar antes de la guerra, un viejo pederasta irredento, desafiante, que con la dictadura ha salido de la cárcel y, más aún, sigue trabajando con niños.

En los diez días siguientes, acusado de asesinato, perseguido por la policía, y salvado por David Fortuny, un antiguo agente ahora reconvertido en detective privado, Mascarell vivirá escondido, lejos de Patro y de su pequeña hija Raquel, disfrazado y colaborando con Fortuny para demostrar su inocencia. Un Fortuny ex combatiente, falso héroe de guerra, seguidor del Régimen y, por lo tanto, en las antípodas de lo que piensa y cree él. Un auténtico choque de trenes en medio de la vorágine de los días más decisivos en la vida del ex inspector.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The ninth installment in the Inspector Mascarell series, Ten Days in June returns us to a not-too-distant past, to the cruel reality of Francoist boarding schools, with the hunger and humiliation of the children of the defeated, taken away from their parents "for their own good" and converted, in many cases, into cannon fodder for the worst brutality.

June, 1951, during the festival of St. John. Miquel Mascarell discovers by surprise that an old enemy is alive and free. He is Laureano Andrada, the only man he ever aimed at and wanted to kill before the war, an old, defiant, inveterate pedophile, who left jail thanks to the dictatorship and, furthermore, is still working with children. In the next ten days, accused of murder, followed by the police, and saved by David Fortuny, a former agent-turned-private detective, Mascarell will live in the shadows, far from Patro and his young daughter Raquel, disguised and working with Fortuny to prove his innocence. Fortuny is an ex-soldier, false war hero, follower of Franco's regime, and therefore diametrically opposed to what Mascarell thinks and believes. A true perfect storm in the middle of the most decisive days in the ex-inspector's life.
