Reseña del editor:

Sent to Spain by British Intelligence to arrest a rogue spy, agent Peter Cotton expects an easy first assignment. But when he arrives in Cadiz, he finds his quarry dead. It's 1944, and as the war in Europe draws to a close, formerly neutral Franco edges closer to the Allies - but things are not what they seem. It appears all of Cadiz has been expecting Cotton. In a hotbed of scandal and murder, he must navigate through a labyrinth of international conspiracies, shifting political allegiances and a mysterious local expatriate community to discover the truth. What he unearths amid the stifling heat and dust could just tilt the emerging balance of post-war power and change the course of history for ever.
