Summary:

"Tras la victoria de Franco, el doctor Guillermo García Medina sigue viviendo en Madrid bajo una identidad falsa. Manuel Arroyo, quien le salvó de morir en el paredón, ha vuelto del exilio con una misión secreta: infiltrarse en una organización clandestina nazi y falangista. Mientras el doctor García se deja reclutar por él, el nombre de otro español se cruza en el destino de los dos amigos. Adrián Gallardo Ortega, que tuvo su momento de gloria como boxeador profesional antes de alistarse en la División Azul, para seguir luchando como voluntario de las SS y participar en la última defensa de Berlín, malvive en Alemania, ignorando que alguien pretende suplantar su identidad para huir a la Argentina de Perón."--Back cover.

"After Franco's victory the physician Guillermo García Medina still lives in Madrid with a false identity. The documentation that saved him from being executed was a present by his best friend, Manuel Arroyo Benítez, a Republican diplomat whose life he saved in 1937. Guillermo thinks that he will never see him again, but in September 1946 Manuel returns from exile with a secret and dangerous mission. He plans to infiltrate a clandestine organization, the escape network of war criminals and fugitives of the Third Reich, directed from the Argüelles neighborhood by a German and Spanish woman, Nazi and falangista [Wikipedia], called Clara Stauffer. While doctor García lets himself being recruited by Manuel, the name of another Spaniard crosses the two friends' destiny. Adrián Gallardo Ortega, who had his moment of glory as a professional boxer before joining the División Azul ["blue division", Wikipedia] to continue fighting as an SS volunteer and participate in the last defense of Berlin, and who lives rather badly in Germany, ignoring that someone wants to supplant his identity to escape to the Argentina of Perón. A thriller and a spy novel, Los pacientes del doctor García is maybe Almudena Grandes' most international and fastest-paced story, her most ambitious narration, in which she connects real and unknown events of World War II and the Franco regime to construct the lives of some characters who not only share Spain's fate but also Argentine's." -- Publisher of novel.
