by Jordi Sierra i Fabra (Spain)
Novel, 320 pages

Barcelona 1947: Miquel Mascarell returns to an almost unrecognizable city after eight harrowing years as a prisoner of war. He has nothing and no one left from his previous life as a faithful family man and respected police inspector. Yet someone knows who and where he is because he receives a package with mysterious contents: a photo, money, an address, and the provocation to “feel like a policeman again.” During a week of secret investigation, he will uncover the evils of military dictatorship in the lives of the victors and the vanquished: from black market magnates to the young women who turn to prostitution to feed their families. While true to the gritty realities and ambience of the post-war era, this novel speaks of resistance, survival, and inexhaustible hope..

For high intermediate and above. Adult readers
