Summary:
"Pamfletten aborda el eterno enfrentamiento entre el bien y el mal: la caza de un asesino en Flandes en 1576, durante la ocupación de los Tercios. El auditor Alonso Padilla tendrá que aclarar los asesinatos de varias doncellas en Lier, una próspera localidad entre Amberes y Bruselas. Apenas han pasado dos semanas del saco de Amberes y el clima resulta enrarecido, pues las Provincias del Sur pueden sumarse a los rebeldes. Además, Alonso -un individuo cuando menos peculiar que usa extraños métodos deductivos y científicos- tiene que cumplir otro encargo del secretario general en Bruselas: capturar a un grabador, el Turco, cuyos grabados, llamados pamfletten, están haciendo que los orangistas ganen la batalla de la propaganda.Pamfletten es una novela policíaca ambientada en el siglo XVI, donde junto a la investigación de unos sádicos asesinatos, nos muestra cómo eran los famosos Tercios de Flandes, como vivían, se organizaban, combatían y, cómo vivían, se organizaban, combatían y cómo resultó la compleja situación política y estratégica tras la ocupación de aquellas tierras por la ocupación de aquellas tierras por la mejor infantería de su época." -- Contraportada.
"Pamfletten addresses the eternal confrontation between good and evil: the hunt for a murderer in Flanders in 1576, during the occupation of the Tercios. The auditor Alonso Padilla will have to clarify the murders of several maidens in Lier, a prosperous town between Antwerp and Brussels. Barely two weeks have passed since the Antwerp sack and the climate is tense, since the Southern Provinces may join the rebels. Furthermore, Alonso - a peculiar individual to say the least who uses strange deductive and scientific methods - has to fulfill another commission from the secretary general in Brussels: to capture an engraver, the Turk, whose engravings, called pamfletten, are making the Orangeists win the battle of propaganda. Pamfletten is a detective novel set in the 16th century, where together with the investigation of some sadistic murders, shows us what the famous Tercios of Flanders were like, how they lived, organized themselves, fought and, how they lived, organized themselves, fought and how the complex political and strategic situation resulted after the occupation of those lands by the occupation of those lands by the best infantry of their time." -- Back cover.
