|summary=In 2009 a forensic scientist starts to investigate a war grave, but the real action focuses on 1953 and a power struggle involving one of Franco's most brutal henchmen. The modern day story stretches belief but the historical take is scarily plausible. Not nice, but good reading all the same.
