Falco. Eva. Sabotage

A spy and playboy, a socialite and a good acquaintance of all smugglers and cabaret owners in Europe, an exquisite dandy and a keen expert on weapons, a carefree predator and a brilliant professional in his cynical trade. Before you... is Lorenzo Falco — an agent of Franco's government, a seasoned and dangerous lone wolf in the wild jungles of the Spanish Civil War. He is sent to Alicante, where he must orchestrate the escape from prison of a high-ranking Francoist official; to Tangier, where his superiors hope to secure gold from the Republic; to Paris, where he needs to compromise a war hero, while also preventing Pablo Picasso from unveiling a monumental canvas at the World Expo. Falco is a free radical, a spoonful of tar, an ace up his sleeve. He values bravery, including that of his adversaries, but in his world, honor is a luxury, and sometimes impermissible. In his world, only seasoned predators survive, who, when the smoke clears, can only grimly note the injustice of the world order with dark humor. And in his heart, the predator lets no one in — except for one daring and ruthless woman, his double from the warped, rippling mirror...
Arturo Pérez-Reverte is a former war journalist, a celebrated author of brilliant historical, military, adventure, and detective novels translated into forty languages, and a holder of prestigious literary awards. His novels about Falco are fast-paced spy thrillers and at the same time a parody of them, a postmodern play with the canons of the genre. Falco is Captain Alatriste three centuries later, James Bond in conditions that are by no means a cold war, a respectful semi-bow to Somerset Maugham and John le Carré.
The predator, charmingly smiling, emerges from the forest. He is hungry, dangerous, and ready for adventure.
The entire Falco trilogy is published for the first time under one cover.
