The blood of the innocent

A dizzying adventure that takes us to places like Jerusalem, Granada, Rome or Istanbul, and that investigates the causes of religious fanaticism and intolerance throughout the centuries.

I am a spy and I am afraid... This is how Friar Julián's chronicle in the 13th century begins about the cruel siege of Montségur and the struggle between Cathars and Catholics.

Centuries later, in 1939, an agnostic medievalist embarks on a dangerous journey through Nazi Berlin in search of his Jewish wife.

Currently, a group of radical Muslims immolate themselves in Frankfurt, leaving behind a cryptic message that puts the European Union's Counter-Terrorism Center on alert. Its agents, with the help of the Vatican's secret services, will try to unravel an enigma that unites the intolerance of the Inquisition, fascist irrationality, and Islamic fundamentalism in one sentence: "Someday someone will avenge the blood of the innocent."

A Muslim recruited by a terrorist cell, a Jesuit expert in heresies, a French count obsessed with a dramatic family inheritance, a mysterious man -The Facilitator- who pulls the strings of power from the shadows alongside an intrepid young woman from the anti-terrorism services, star in this exciting book about revenge and betrayal, with the violent conflict between East and West as a backdrop.
