Editorial Reviews

Review

I have been an admirer of Alberto Vazquez-Figueroa's books since I was a teenager. He has been always my literary idol, and the inspiration to become a journalist, a war correspondent and finally a successful novelist. (Arturo Perez Reverte, International bestselling author of The Queen of the South.) Vazquez-Figueroa is one of the best Spanish writers of our time, and certainly the most commercially successful! (Jose Manuel Lara, President and founder of the Grupo Planeta, the largest publishing group of Spain and Latin America)
