The Watcher In The Pine

• About the book

The hostilities are never over in the mournful mysteries that Rebecca Pawel sets in the devastated cities of Spain in the aftermath of the Civil War... Pawel frames the complex ethical issues she raises in the divided loyalties of her series' hero...and his wife, Elena, whose sympathies are entirely with the Republican cause. Until the family wounds are healed, Pawel argues, the war will never end. - The New York Times Book Review
