The Sun of Cartagena David Zaplana

More than 50,000 readers around the world. The debut novel by the authors of NO TRUE SCOTSMAN and GOTHIC MORBE. A stolen archaeological jewel, a young lover of history, a girl about to marry and a danger that looms over them. COMMENTS OF READERSThe combination of Huesca-Cartagena, which I'm very familiar with, is always interesting. So is your novel. I really enjoyed reading it. (...) Congratulations on the story and the careful documentation. Arturo Pérez-Reverte. An intense plot with investigation, murders and archaeology. With the three-thousand-year-old city of Cartagena as a backdrop. Highly recommendable. Antonio Martínez. The novel (...) maintains the tension throughout, does not contain any scene that is not relevant to the outcome and involves the reader without hesitation from beginning to end, with that sensation which is so gratifying when reading, of not wanting to put the book down until it is finished. Natalia Carbajosa. The diverse mixture of genres such as mystery, adventure and even some romantic touches make the novel interesting and different. Highly recommendable. MSN Dolores.
