La hermana fea

Admiral Canaris, head of the Wehrmacht's secret service, did what he pleased and, sometimes, what he was told. His life is, without a doubt, legendary: he contributed to magnifying the Third Reich while, in the shadows, he in turn tried to destroy it; he saved the Mexican dictator Huerta, waged privateering in the Atlantic and Pacific, and returned to Germany after crossing the Chilean Alps. Master of conspiracy, intrigue, espionage and bribery, he acted in secret operations all over the world, including Spain. More than fifty years after his disappearance, several unexplained deaths in the dunes of Maspalomas reopen his case... and the solution to the mystery is finally known. Halfway between the most traditional historical novel, the noir novel and the legal thriller, The Ugly Sister goes through the most sordid years of World War II in great detail, following in the footsteps of this singular character, to bring to light a truth as sordid as surprising.
