El Traidor de Praga
A gripping novel that links Prague to Washington, South Yemen, Damascus, Paris, Sitges, Madrid, Havana, Berlin, Geneva and Panama. A story in which fiction and historical factsare mixed with real and fictional characters. A story that reveals the ins and outs of international espionage and which we will never know for sure whether it really happened, although everything is possible... In November 1989, the elderly Paredes, second-in-command of Cuban intelligence in Prague, decides to pass top-secret
information to the CIA, in the midst of the debacle of the communist regimes of Eastern Europe. In Washington, his betrayal leads to doubts and scepticism, despite Javier Puig, the Cuban-American spy who was linked to Paredes and is an old friend of his, trying to convince Langley that it's not a provocation or Cuban infiltration.
