About the Book

La novela que inspiró El hombre de Roma, película de estreno en 2022, protagonizada por Richard Armitage.

«Una atractiva historia de amor, codicia, fe, traición y asesinato. La Sevilla de Pérez-Reverte seduce a su protagonista y a sus lectores de la misma forma.» --Publishers Weekly

Un pirata informático que se infiltra en el Vaticano. Una iglesia barroca, en Sevilla, que mata para defenderse. Tres pintorescos malvados que aspiran a mantener viva la copla española. Una bella aristócrata andaluza. Un apuesto sacerdote-agente especialista en asuntos sucios. Un banquero celoso y su secretario ludópata. Una septuagenaria que bebe Coca-cola. La tarjeta postal de una mujer muerta un siglo atrás. Y el misterioso legado del capitán Xaloc, último corsario español, desaparecido frente a las costas de Cuba en 1898.

Con esos ingredientes, Arturo Pérez-Reverte construye en La piel del tambor una ingeniosa, compleja y fascinante trama novelesca. Con su imaginación desbordante, su espectacular dominio de la ingeniería narrativa y de los diversos géneros superpuestos -misterio, policíaco, historia, romanticismo, aventura, folletín- el autor nos sumerge sin aliento en una historia que corta al lector cualquier posible retirada, arrastrándolo a un enigma cuya clave se esconde a la sombra de los viejos muelles del Guadalquivir; donde todavía hoy, en las noches de luna llena, sombras de mujer agitan sus pañuelos y goletas tripuladas por fantasmas siguen zarpando rumbo a las Antillas.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The book that inspired the film The Man from Rome, with Richard Armitage as Father Quart.

An "intricate literary mystery [of] wrenching effect" by the internationally acclaimed, bestselling author of The Club Dumas (The New Yorker).

Someone has hacked into the pope's personal computer--not to spy on the Vatican or to spread a virus, but to send an urgent plea for help: SAVE OUR LADY OF THE TEARS. The crumbling Baroque church in the heart of Seville is slated for demolition--and two of its defenders have suddenly died. Accidents? Or murders? And was the church itself somehow involved?

The Vatican promptly dispatches Father Lorenzo Quart, their worldly and enormously attractive emissary, to investigate the situation, track down the hacker--known only as "Vespers"--and stay alive. Thus begins a sophisticated and utterly suspenseful page-turner that has taken its readers by storm.

"An elegant thriller that is as much about the elusive quest for happiness as it is about solving the murders." --The Denver Post

"An indelible tale of love, faith, and greed." --People, Page-Turner of the Week
