Description

By: David B. Gil     
La novela definitiva de David B. Gil mezcla viajes e investigación criminal con aventuras de batallas y espadas en el Japón feudal.

Un hombre de fe obligado a desentrañar los más terribles crímenes, un joven samurái erigido en su protector, un viaje a través de un país castigado por siglos de guerra.

Toledo, 1579. El padre Martín Ayala recibe la inesperada encomienda de regresar a Japón -el país donde se formó como sacerdote y misionero- diez años después de ser apartado de la misión por su relación ilícita con una joven japonesa. Alguien está asesinando con ritual crueldad a los padres cristianos en dichas costas. Ayala, considerado el máximo conocedor del idioma y las costumbres niponas en el seno de la Iglesia, deberá desentrañar las razones que se ocultan tras estas muertes.

Japón, año 7 de la Era Tenshô. Kudô Kenjirô, hijo de un samurái rural, es elegido para una ingrata labor: proteger a un extranjero llegado con la intención de investigar unos crímenes inciertos. Kenjirô pronto descubrirá que fuerzas extrañas conspiran para que el visitante no lleve a buen puerto sus pesquisas. Juntos recorrerán un Japón devastado por la guerra y emponzoñado por las conspiraciones. A medida que el jesuita se reencuentra con su pasado, el curso de la investigación se desvelará fundamental no solo para la pervivencia de la cristiandad, sino para el propio futuro del país.

«Una novela que entusiasmará a los lectores de El Guerrero a la sombra del cerezo y que servirá de puerta de entrada a aquellos que aún no han descubierto el Japón feudal de la mano de David B. Gil». - Salvador García, Hislibris

«Una magnífica novela de aventuras que aúna una gran recreación del Japón antiguo con un emocionante relato de amistad en tiempos de guerra». - Jordi Noguera, Caja de Letras

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

This complete novel by David B. Gil combines trips and criminal investigations with sword battles in feudal Japan.
 
A man of faith forced to unravel the most terrible crimes, a young samurai assigned as his protector, a journey through a country punished by centuries of war.
 
Toledo, 1579. Father Martín Ayala receives the unexpected order to return to Japan - the country where he was trained as a priest and missionary - ten years after being removed from the mission for having an illicit relationship with a young Japanese woman. Someone is killing with ritual cruelty all Christian priests on that coast. Ayala, considered the most knowledgeable in Japanese language and customs within the Church, must unravel the reasons behind these deaths.
 
Japan, year 7 of the Tenshō Era. Kudô Kenjirô, the son of a rural samurai, is chosen for a thankless job: to protect a foreigner who has come to investigate some undefined crimes. Kenjirô will soon discover what strange forces conspire so that the visitor is not able to carry out his investigations. Together they will travel through a Japan that is war-torn and poisoned by conspiracies. As the Jesuit priest is reunited with his past, his investigation will prove to be important not only for the survival of Christianity, but for the country's own future.
