The Silent Girl (eBook)

As major European cities bleed in the First World War, Barcelona stands out as one of the pearls of the Mediterranean. Despite its neutral status, everyone knows that there are ports along its coast where fuel and supplies can be obtained illegally, with the tacit approval of the local authorities. Submarines arrive there, where all sorts of interests and conflicts become entangled with secret services, double agents, and spies from both sides of the conflict. In the heart of vibrant Barcelona, ¿¿amidst the hustle and bustle of the streets, the clamor of the bars, the gambling in the casino, and the nightly entertainment, Amadeo, a village boy, arrives, searching for his father's dancer with whom he had a strange affair. All he knows about her is that she is the fourth girl from the left in a photograph he keeps in his jacket pocket. Amadeo needs to find answers, but uncovering the truth isn't always the best thing that can happen.
