Summary:
"En los años sombríos del nazismo, desaparecen
de
un rincón secreto
de
la prisión
de
Spandau unas valiosísimas monedas
de
oro. Casi cincuenta años después, caído el Muro
de
Berlín, dos personajes oscuros pero poderosos, con un pasado político turbio, contratan cada uno por su lado a dos «antiguos combatientes», Juan Belmonte -el que tiene
nombre
de
torero
- y Frank Galinsky . En «paro» laboral e ideológico, ambos deben partir en busca
de
un botín robado que nadie se atreve en realidad a reclamar oficialmente. Belmonte acepta el encargo por amor a Verónica ; Galinsky , por un viejo hábito
de
obediencia militante cuyo ideal es ahora el
de
enriquecerse «como todos los demás». Al mismo tiempo, al otro lado del mundo, un viejo humilde y solitario recibe un misterioso mensaje ¿Llegarán a enfrentarse Belmonte y Galinsky ? ¿Existe realmente el tesoro ? En tiempos implacables como los que vivimos, ¿vencerá el amor o la codicia?"--Back cover
"In the dark years of Nazism, precious gold coins disappear from a secret corner of Spandau prison. Almost fifty years later, the Berlin Wall fell, two dark but powerful characters, with a turbulent political past, each contracting on their side two "former combatants", Juan Belmonte -the one with the name of a bullfighter- and Frank Galinsky. In unemployment and ideological work, both must leave in search of a stolen booty that nobody dares to officially claim. Belmonte accepts the order for love of Veronica; Galinsky, for an old habit of militant obedience whose ideal is now to get rich "like everyone else." At the same time, on the other side of the world, a humble and lonely old man receives a mysterious message. Will Belmonte and Galinsky face each other? Is there really a treasure? In relentless times like those we live, will love or greed prevail?"--English translation from Google Translate.
