Falco

1936. Civil war. New Spain—a bastion of faith and nationalism. Lorenzo Falco is a former arms smuggler, a spy, and a secret agent of the intelligence service. Polished and refined, like James Bond; smart and measured, like Erast Fandorin. No woman can resist him, but his heart belongs to none of them.

Falco came from a noble family, had a good upbringing, and possessed exquisite manners. All this later proved very useful, when reckless youth, a failed military career, and a wandering, adventurous life put his character’s other qualities to a serious test. Now he was thirty-six, and behind him was a very eventful biography: America, Europe, Spain—war. Night trains, crossing the border under snow and rain, international hotels, the alarm of dark streets, forbidden secret embraces.

He was a man of the moment—like a wolf in the dark. Greedy and dangerous predator. Another extremely difficult assignment given to Lorenzo was supposed to change the entire course of Spain’s history.
