I've just bought a magazine here in the UK entitled 'vivaespaña' which has some marvellous photography (unfortunately I can't find a URL for it). In its book review there is an entry for a new book called 'Death of a nationalist' by Rebecca Pawel. No ISBN is given but the book can apparently be obtained from
www.thespanishbookshop.com I include some of the review here..
" Publishers Weekly selected this title as a Best Mystery of 2003. The main character is Carlos Tejada Alonso y Léon, a conservative authority figure in the Guardia Civil, who investigates the killing of a comrade......The author obviously did considerable research on post-war Madrid and acknowledges her sources of oral history from that period. This is an absorbing read from start to finish"
Has anyone read this yet? Is it as good as this review seems to imply?
PS apologies to the previous post by ChrisR. I've just noticed that this book has already been noted.
