Condición: Good. Aventura en estado puro en una novela cuyo tema es de candente actualidad: los fanatismos religiosos. Soy espía y tengo miedo. Así empieza la crónica que escribe en el siglo XIII fray Julián sobre el cruel asedio a Montségur y la lucha entre cátaros y católicos. Siglos después, en 1939, un medievalista agnóstico emprende un peligroso viaje por el Berlín nazi en busca de su esposa de origen judío. En la actualidad, un grupo de musulmanes radicales se inmola en Frankfurt dejando tras de sí un mensaje críptico que pone en estado de alerta al Centro Antiterrorista de la Unión Europea, cuyos agentes, con la ayuda de los servicios secretos del Vaticano, intentarán desvelar un enigma que une la intolerancia de la Inquisición, la sinrazón fascista y el integrismo islámico en una frase: «Algún día alguien vengará la sangre de los inocentes». Un musulmán captado por una célula terrorista, un jesuita experto en herejías, un conde francés obsesionado por una dramática herencia familiar, un hombre misterioso -El Facilitador- que desde la sombra maneja los hilos del poder junto a una intrépida joven de los servicios antiterroristas protagonizan este apasionante libro sobre la venganza y la traición, con el violento conflicto entre Oriente y Occidente como telón de fondo. En su novela más madura y ambiciosa, Julia Navarro sorprende con una vertiginosa aventura que nos transporta a lugares como Jerusalén, Granada, Roma o Estambul, y que indaga en las causas del fanatismo religioso y la intolerancia a lo largo de los siglos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Pure adventure in a novel whose topic is a hot-button issue today: religious fanaticism. "I'm a spy and I'm afraid." Thus begins the tale that Brother Julián writes in the 13th century about the cruel seige of Montségur and the fight between Cathars and Catholics. Centuries later, in 1939, an agnostic medievalist sets out on a dangerous journey through Nazi Berlin in search of his Jewish wife. In modern times, a group of radical Muslims sacrifice themselves in Frankfurt, leaving behind a cryptic message that puts the Counter-terrorist Center of the European Union on high alert. Its agents, with the help of the Vatican's secret service, try to unravel a mystery that wraps the intolerance of the Inquisition, fascist outrages, and Islamic fundamentalism into one sentence: "Some day, someone will avenge the blood of the innocents." A Muslim captured by an antiterrorist cell, a Jesuit expert in heresy, a French count obsessed by a dramatic family inheritance, a mysterious man--The Facilitator--who pulls the strings of power from behind the shadows along with an intrepid young woman star in this thrilling book about vengeance and betrayal, with the violent conflict between East and West as the backdrop. In her most mature, ambitious novel, Julia Navarro surprises us with a dizzying adventure that transports us to places like Jerusalem, Granada, Rome, and Istanbul, and which delves into the causes of religious fanaticism and intolerance throughout the centuries.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud is the explosive international bestseller that mixes fact and fiction to tell the riveting story of one of the world's most controversial relics--the Holy Shroud of Turin--and the desperate race to save it from those who will stop at nothing to possess its legendary power. A fire at the Turin cathedral and the discovery of a mutilated corpse are the latest in a disturbing series of events surrounding the mysterious cloth millions believe to be the authentic burial shroud of Jesus Christ. Those who dare to investigate will be caught in the cross fire of an ancient conflict forged by mortal sacrifice, assassination, and secret societies tied to the shadowy Knights Templar. Spanning centuries and continents, from the storm-rent skies over Calvary, through the intrigue and treachery of Byzantium and the Crusades, to the modern-day citadels of Istanbul, New York, London, Paris, and Rome, The Brotherhood of the Holy Shroud races to a chilling climax in the labyrinths beneath Turin, where astounding truths will be exposed: about the history of a faith, the passions of man, and proof of the most powerful miracle of all.
