En savoir plus sur le livre
Spain's Arturo Perez-Reverte presents a touching and suspenseful tale of faith and duty set in the enchanting city of Seville. He describes how "different histories were superimposed and interdependent," creating a rich tapestry of time, blood, and prayers beneath a timeless sky. The narrative invites readers to listen to the stones of the city, transcending the distractions of modern life. In this story, Father Lorenzo Quart, an investigator for the Vatican, becomes embroiled in a dangerous plot. An angry Archbishop of Seville dismisses his work as that of "mafiosi in Rome, playing God's police." Father Quart, an attractive man with prematurely gray hair and a penchant for expensive suits, faces challenges to his vows of celibacy, particularly from the breathtaking Macarena, whose banker husband is involved in a scheme to demolish a historic church. With two murders already committed, the stakes rise as Father Quart navigates the beautiful streets of Seville, pursued by a trio of clumsy but dangerous villains reminiscent of classic film noir. The story weaves together suspense and rich historical context, making for a captivating read.
