About the Book

Vuelve Juan Urbano con la historia de una saga familiar envuelta en una trama de codicia y negocios poco limpios durante generaciones.

«Detrás de cada gran fortuna hay un crimen escondido.».-Honoré de Balzac

¿Llevar un apellido ilustre te obliga a defenderlo por encima, incluso, de tus ideas?

Juan Urbano, profesor de literatura, escritor por encargo y detective ocasional, protagonista también de las novelas Mala gente que camina, Operación Gladio y Ajuste de cuentas, es contratado inesperadamente por un hombre perteneciente a una familia dedicada durante generaciones a los negocios -no siempre limpios ni confesables, y en cierta época no solo de bienes sino también de personas- para localizar a los descendientes de una hija secreta de su bisabuelo. En su investigación, Urbano debe sortear la resistencia de los otros miembros del clan, que no están dispuestos a compartir su imperio con una nueva heredera.

Este es el comienzo de una oscura trama que se desplaza de España a Cuba y de ahí a África, y descubre al lector cómo se crearon algunas de las grandes fortunas en España, de dónde procede el dinero que las hizo tan poderosas y qué intentan esconder sus miembros para preservar sus intereses.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Juan Urbano is back with a family saga wrapped up in a plot of greed and dirty business going back generations. "Behind every great fortune lies a hidden crime." -Honoré de Balzac

Does having an illustrious last name oblige you to defend it, even beyond your own ideals?

Juan Urbano, professor of literature, commissioned writer, and occasional detective, who is also the protagonist of the novels Mala gente que camina, Operación Gladio, and Ajuste de cuentas, is unexpectedly hired by a man belonging to a family that has been involved for generations in commerce--not always legal, and for a time not only of goods but also of people--to find the descendants of a secret daughter of his great-grandfather's. In his investigation, Urbano must negotiate the resistance of other members of the clan, who aren't willing to share their empire with a new heiress. This is the beginning of a dark plot that moves from Spain to Cuba, and later to Africa, and reveals to readers how some of the great Spanish fortunes were amassed, where the money came from that made certain families so powerful, and what their members will do to preserve their interests.
