Publisher Marketing: Spanish Description: En 1940 Winston Churchill tiene una idea que cambiara el curso de la guerra: crear una nueva seccion de los servicios secretos, el Special Operations Executive (SOE), para llevar a cabo acciones de sabotaje desde el interior de las lineas enemigas. Unos meses mas tarde, el joven Paul-Emile deja Paris rumbo a Londres con la esperanza de unirse a la Resistencia. El SOE no tarda en llamarlo a sus filas, junto a un grupo de jovenes companeros. Tras un entrenamiento brutal, los pocos elegidos conoceran el amor, el miedo y la amistad, y seran enviados en mision a la Francia ocupada. Pero el contraespionaje aleman ya ha sido alertado. Un jovencisimo Joel Dicker, que luego deslumbrara a mas de dos millones de lectores con La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, aborda un hecho de la Segunda Guerra Mundial que fue mantenido en secreto durante anos, y demuestra, en esta novela ganadora del Premio de los Escritores Ginebrinos, su talento para crear una historia y unos personajes inolvidables. English Description: In 1940, Winston Churchill has an idea that will change the course of the war: to create a new branch of the British Secret Intelligence Service: the Special Operations Executive (SOE), to carry out sabotage from behind enemy lines. Some months later, young Paul-Emile leaves Paris for London with the hopes of joining the Resistance. The SOE doesn't hesitate to call him up to their ranks, along with a group of young colleagues. After a brutal training, the remaining few who are chosen will know love, fear, and friendship, and will be sent on a mission to occupied France. But German counter-espionage has already been put on high alert. An extremely young Joel Dicker, who will later dazzle more than two million readers with The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, tackles a fact about World War II that was kept secret for years, and in this Geneva Writers' Prize-winning novel, shows his talent for creating unforgettable stories and characters.
