  I love the attention that Perez Reverte dedicates to details.
  I like the fact that his characters are not only individuals following an action, but they are often full of sentiments and human characteristics well described.
  And most of the time his novels are the result of deep studies, thus they recreate the environment and the time quite well.

  I loved the woman in this novel.
  How it's possible to take the side of the bad guy in a story?
  Still I liked her very much indeed.

  I'm not really interested in the drug trafficking scene and all that goes with it. I finished this book only because I started it.
