The third Carlos Tejada investigation
Spain, 1940: Potes, a remote northern mountain village, is Carlos
Tejada's first independent Guardia Civil command. He soon discovers that
this "promotion" is a mixed blessing. The villagers are unwelcoming. He
and his pregnant wife, Elena, have no place to live but the jail, and
his own men seem strangely hostile. Is it just their suspicion of his
wife's Republican sympathies? Or is there more going on in the beautiful
but bleak area, recently devastated by the civil war? Tejada discovers
that there may, indeed, be a new outbreak of that war with Potes as its
epicenter. And he must find a way to reconcile his love for his wife
with his duty.
