La violinista roja

Monforte, Reyes

The legendary story of a courageous woman who fought for her ideals beyond family, love, friendship and the world order. "But who the hell is that woman?" was the most heard question in CIA offices. Who was pulling the strings of global espionage, thwarting intelligence operations, twisting wills, shedding skin, leading impossible missions, uncovering state secrets, and drawing the threat of a Third World War on the Cold War board? That mysterious woman was the Spanish Africa de las Heras, who became the most important Soviet spy of the 20th century. Captured by Stalin's secret services in Barcelona during the Spanish civil war, she was part of the operation to assassinate Trotsky in Mexico, fought against the Nazis as a radio operator -violinist- in the Ukraine, starred in the most fruitful honey trap of the KGB when she married with the anti-communist writer Felisberto Hernández and creating the largest network of Soviet agents in South America, he left his mark on nuclear espionage, in the Bay of Pigs and was related to Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera or Ernest Hemingway, among others. A life full of danger, mystery, glamor and numerous secret identities under one alias: Homeland. Not even her personal relationship with Trotsky's assassin, Ramón Mercader, separated her from her targets, but what price did she have to pay for her loyalty to the USSR and to herself?
