March 1937. While the Spanish Civil War continues its tragic course, a mission brings Lorenzo Falcon to Tangier, a turbulent crossroads of spies, black market, and conspiracies, with the order to persuade the captain of a ship loaded with gold from the Bank of Spain to change sides. The information that Eva, whose life he has already saved once, is on board the ship makes his mission even more difficult... Nationalists, democrats, and Soviet spies, men and women, are confronted in a dark and dirty war, where dangerous ghosts from the past will return.

In "Eva," the second book with the protagonists that Reverte introduced in "Falcon" (Publ. Patakis, 2018), reality and imagination are artfully combined in the fairytale setting of 1930s Tangier.
