{"product_id":"the-horsemans-song","title":"The Horseman's Song","description":"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 1. The sixth in the Martin Bora series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2. Spellbinding multi-layered crime novel set in a fascinating period and\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e place. Set during the Spanish Civil War, the tragic prelude to WWII. The\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e action takes place in the scorched and fly-infested high sierras of Aragon,\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e where a troop of Franco's volunteers under the orders of Bora face a\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e platoon from the International Brigades led by an American. The focal point\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e of the story is the mystery of the poet Garcia Lorca's murder. His body was\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e never found. It is still being looked for today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 2. Controversially, the hero is an aristocratic German officer in the\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Wehrmacht. With echoes of Claus von Stauffenberg, he is torn between his\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e duty as an officer and his integrity as a human being. He and his American\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'enemy' fall in love with the same woman of the night, and eventually join\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e forces seeking to resolve the Lorca murder.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 3. Will appeal to fans of Phillip Kerr (Bernie Gunther series), Alan Furst\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ('Spies of the Balkans') and Bernhard Schlink's 'The Reader'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 4. It should benefit from the continued high profile search in Spain for\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Lorca's body and the vogue for WWII in fiction, film and tv. 'Dunkirk',\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 'Valkyrie', 'Inglourious Basterds', 'Pacific'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":53853910499666,"sku":"9781912242115","price":12.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_bb0f88f9-6d49-4ab4-bf33-d83fa1415074.jpg?v=1782585736","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/the-horsemans-song","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
