Description

Alicia Durán's investigation into the Red Gladio organization leads her to uncover a complex web of events that spanned decades. Promoted by the CIA after World War II, this anticomunist group was responsible for numerous killings and aimed to prevent the spread of left-wing ideologies across Europe. As Alicia delves deeper into the history of Red Gladio, she reconstructs the story of a Republican captured in France, executed near Madrid, and secretly buried in the Valle de los Caídos. Her own family's past is also intertwined with this dark chapter in Spanish history. With suspenseful storytelling, Benjamín Prado presents a critical examination of Spain's recent past, exploring the transition from dictatorship to democracy. Through Alicia's journey, Prado masterfully weaves together fact and fiction, creating a gripping narrative that sheds light on a pivotal moment in Spanish history.
