El túnel del hambre

Meg Roberts has never stopped loving her daughter's father, even though she hasn't seen him in almost seven years . . . and she believes the handsome KGB agent seduced her for political reasons and left her pregnant.

Konstantin Rudenko has defected to the US for the love of a woman - and a child he's never met.

All of these dark goings-on and more come together to create a thrilling detective novel. Atila, el detective marginal del Raval de Barcelona, está pasando una mala...
