Revolución

This is the story of a man, three women, a revolution and a treasure. The revolution was that of Mexico in the times of Emiliano Zapata and Francisco Villa. The treasure was fifteen thousand gold coins of twenty pesos of the so-called maximilianos, stolen from a bank in Ciudad Juárez on May 8, 1911. The man's name was Martín Garret Ortiz and he was a young Spanish mining engineer. It all started for him that same day, when from his hotel he heard the first distant shot. He went out into the street to see what was happening and from that moment his life changed forever... Revolution is much more than a novel about the dramatic events that shook the Mexican Republic in the first third of the 20th century. It is a story of initiation and maturity through chaos, lucidity and violence: the amazing discovery of the hidden rules that determine love, loyalty, death and life.
