Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Aventura en estado puro en una novela cuyo tema es de candente actualidad: los fanatismos religiosos. Soy espÃa y tengo miedo... Asà empieza la crónica que escribe en el siglo XIII fray Julián sobre el cruel asedio a Montségur y la lucha entre cátaros y católicos. Siglos después, en 1939, un medievalista agnóstico emprende un peligroso viaje por el BerlÃn nazi en busca de su esposa de origen judÃo. En la actualidad, un grupo de musulmanes radicales se inmola en Frankfurt dejando tras de sà un mensaje crÃptico que pone en estado de alerta al Centro Antiterrorista de la Unión Europea, cuyos agentes, con la ayuda de los servicios secretos del Vaticano, intentarán desvelar un enigma que une la intolerancia de la Inquisición, la sinrazón fascista y el integrismo islámico en una frase: «Algún dÃa alguien vengará la sangre de los inocentes». Un musulmán captado por una célula terrorista, un jesuita experto en herejÃas, un conde francés obsesionado por una dramática herencia familiar, un hombre misterioso -El Facilitador- que desde la sombra maneja los hilos del poder junto a una intrépida joven de los servicios antiterroristas protagonizan este apasionante libro sobre la venganza y la traición, con el violento conflicto entre Oriente y Occidente como telón de fondo. En su novela más madura y ambiciosa, Julia Navarro sorprende con una vertiginosa aventura que nos transporta a lugares como Jerusalén, Granada, Roma o Estambul, y que indaga en las causas del fanatismo religioso y la intolerancia a lo largo de los siglos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pure adventure in a novel whose topic is a hot-button issue today: religious fanaticism. "I'm a spy and I'm afraid..." Thus begins the tale that Brother Julián writes in the 13th century about the cruel seige of Montségur and the fight between Cathars and Catholics. Centuries later, in 1939, an agnostic medievalist sets out on a dangerous journey through Nazi Berlin in search of his Jewish wife. In modern times, a group of radical Muslims sacrifice themselves in Frankfurt, leaving behind a cryptic message that puts the Counter-terrorist Center of the European Union on high alert. Its agents, with the help of the Vatican's secret service, try to unravel a mystery that wraps the intolerance of the Inquisition, fascist outrages, and Islamic fundamentalism into one sentence: "Some day, someone will avenge the blood of the innocents." A Muslim captured by an antiterrorist cell, a Jesuit expert in heresy, a French count obsessed by a dramatic family inheritance, a mysterious manâThe Facilitatorâwho pulls the strings of power from behind the shadows along with an intrepid young woman star in this thrilling book about vengeance and betrayal, with the violent conflict between East and West as the backdrop. In her most mature, ambitious novel, Julia Navarro surprises us with a dizzying adventure that transports us to places like Jerusalem, Granada, Rome, and Istanbul, and which delves into the causes of religious fanaticism and intolerance throughout the centuries.
