Crisanta
una novela de fantasmas durante la Guerra Civil
Biedma, Juan Ramón
Seville, October 1936. Crisanta receives a dangerous assignment. A 16th century triptych by Jan Van Eyck has disappeared amid the looting. If she tracks him down and turns him in, they'll help her get out of the country. He knows that there is no place for her in Spain buried by obscurantism, and he accepts from her, despite the fact that her divination instruments have advised him against participating in that company. They say that the triptych brought disaster upon its desecrators, but she is not intimidated by the curses. This is an impeccable thriller as well as a ghost story during the Civil War, born from the encounter between the marginal stories of the cinema of the thirties, the enigmatic air of the British esoteric societies of the XIX and the reconstruction of the Sevillian rearguard.
