About the Book

Christian Duverger, un destacado historiador con amplio reconocimiento internacional, entrega su primera novela a partir de una exhaustiva documentación acerca de un personaje fascinante que transformó la historia del mundo entero.

En la frontera entre España y Francia, un comando policiaco captura a un grupo terrorista que lleva de contrabando un manuscrito antiguo para venderlo en el mercado negro. Mientras tanto, encuentran el cuerpo de una mujer con quince puñaladas. En un inicio parecen casos aislados, pero pronto se revela un punto en común: todo parece girar en torno al Diario de abordo de Cristóbal Colón, perdido desde hace cinco siglos, y del cual hay dos versiones.

Ricardo Luna, encargado de esclarecer el asesinato y hallar al culpable, debe dar un salto en el tiempo, pues la clave del crimen parece estar cifrada en el documento histórico y todos los enigmas que encierra. Para lograrlo, cuenta con Myrta Pitti, una prominente historiadora italiana. Ella lo guía en la biografía del Almirante, un auténtico laberinto hecho de intrigas, celos, conspiraciones políticas, luchas de poder y amores clandestinos.

Pronto comienzan una apasionada relación y viajan por los bulevares de París, las calles de Madrid y Sevilla, los suntuosos teatros de Nueva York, las antiguas plazas virreinales de la Ciudad de México y Santo Domingo, descifrando los crímenes y siguiendo las huellas de Colón, una apasionante figura que, a quinientos años de su muerte, entre mitos y leyendas, sigue despertando polémicas, pasiones, romances y asesinatos.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

On the border between Spain and France, a police command captures a terrorist group that is smuggling an ancient manuscript in order to sell it on the black market.

Meanwhile, they find the body of a woman with fifteen stab wounds. At first they seem like isolated incidents, but soon a link is drawn between them: everything seems to be connected to Christopher Columbus's journal, lost five centuries ago, and of which there exist two versions.

Ricardo Luna, in charge of solving the murder and finding the culprit, must go back in time, because the key to the crime seems to be locked in the historical document and all the mysteries surrounding it. To achieve his aims, he is counting on Myrta Pitti, a prominent Italian historian. She guides him in the explorer's biography, a true labyrinth of plots, jealousy, political conspiracies, power struggles, and clandestine love...

Soon they begin a passionate relationship and travel through the boulevards of Paris, the streets of Madrid and Seville, the sumptuous theaters of New York, and the ancient viceregal plazas of Mexico City and Santo Domingo, deciphering the crimes and following the trail of Christopher Columbus, a thrilling figure that, even 500 years after his death, between myths and legends, continues to cause controversy, passions, romances, and murders.
