ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The second novel starring the charismatic inspector Miquel Mascarell, who is back in the Barcelona of the '40s after more than eight years in prison, and who again finds himself with a fascinating case that only he can solve. 1947. Miquel Mascarell, the last policeman from Republican Barcelona, is set free after being pardoned from a death sentence and having spent the last several years of his life in the Valley of the Fallen. Once back home in a city that is almost unrecognizeable and in which he has nothing and no one left, he receives a mysterious envelope with a photograph, money, and an address, which his policeman's instinct can't ignore. Over the course of a week, he discovers the new paths that the dictatorship is getting mixed up in, both in Barcelona and in Spain in general: the black market and its great riches that flourishes among the victors; the hunger and poverty still burying the defeated. With a true and detailed recreation of the atmosphere in the city at that time, Seven Days in July tells of the human condition stretched to the limit, and also of its resistance and eternal hope.
