Book Synopsis



Basada en hechos verídicos, esta apasionante novela cuestiona algunos de los tópicos más difundidos en torno a la vida del almirante, como su nacimiento en Génova, su condición de judío converso o el que llegó a América por casualidad.

En Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, los restos de Cristóbal Colón desaparecen misteriosamente de su tumba. Un extraño jeroglífico es la única pista dejada por los saqueadores...

El mismo anagrama aparece en la fachada de la catedral de Sevilla, y los restos que allí se conservaban también han sido robados...

Tres investigadores saben que no se trata de un simple expolio: el jeroglífico estampado en ambos mausoleos es la enigmática firma que usaba el almirante.

Esta será la clave para resolver el enigma, y llevará a un final inesperado que cambiará la visión de la humanidad sobre el hombre que unió dos mundos.

About the Author



Miguel Ruiz Montañez (Málaga, 1962) es escritor e ingeniero. Licenciado en Ciencias económicas, ejerce como profesor visitante en varias universidades americanas, entre ellas la Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo, en la República Dominicana.

Su primera novela, La tumba de Colón (Ediciones B, 2006), supuso un brillante debut para una carrera que se consolidó con otras obras como El papa mago, El país de los espíritus, Objetivo la luna y La sangre de Colón.

Traducido a una veintena de idiomas, ha entusiasmado a lectores de Europa, América y Asia gracias a la potencia y agilidad de su narrativa.
