Book description
1941. Hitler rampant. Spain neutral. Madrid, like Casablanca, the
launching pad for spies from all sides. The most daring and audacious is
codenamed 'Eldorado'. Young, inexperienced, hotheaded, he had no right
to survive, let alone succeed. Now his network is the most valuable in
Europe, and the fates of armies lie in his hands. But who does he work
for? Or is he only in it for himself? One thing's for sure. War may be a
dirty business, but it certainly brings home the bacon. Based on a
true story, The Eldorado Network is the first novel in Derek Robinson's
acclaimed Luis Cabrillo Quartet. A tense and gripping espionage thriller
from a master of action and suspense. "Outstanding" Guardian
Derek Robinson, the son of a policeman, read history at Cambridge before
working in advertising in London and New York. His novel Goshawk
Squadron was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 1973.
