La plaga de los Borbones
La plaga de los Borbones es un recorrido novelado de la historia de España en el periodo comprendido entre 1700 y 1931 por quienes fueron reconocidos por la pseudo-voluntad divina y el imaginativo color azul de su sangre. La fluidez narrativa convierte en una amena e interesante novela el acontecer de la vida de la Corte de los Borbones desde Felipe V hasta Alfonso XIII. A través de sus páginas el libro va desgranando, mezclado con anécdotas históricas, las guerras, las intrigas, las pasiones, los amores y desamores, los amantes, los bastardos, las excentricidades, los desvaríos mentales y las rarezas consanguíneas de quienes dejaron convertido el más grande y poderoso imperio del mundo en un puñado de tierra en el desértico continente africano
Historia mínima de la España contemporánea (1808-1940)
La Constitución de 1812 vendría a incorporar dos de los rasgos característicos del Antiguo Régimen: La naturaleza sagrada e inviolable del rey en un sistema político de cosoberanía y la definición del catolicismo como la única religión verdadera. Lo que vendría a conformar una alianza entre el Trono y el Altar durante el siglo XIX, que se remontaba a la formación del Estado Moderno del XVI. Lo que daría lugar a una confusión sobre el relato de la historia que llegaría hasta nuestros días, de un pasado que dramáticos acontecimientos nos indicarían no haber concluido: qué es lo que dejamos en los libros, en los museos o en los sentimientos de injusticia insatisfechos quebrado...
What Dare We Hope?

Bats in the Belfry
A mysterious disappearance is at the center of Bats in the Belfry. Shortly after waving away a telephone request from a persistent caller named Debrette, Bruce Attleton leaves his home in Regent’s Park for Paris. He never arrives, but his suitcase turns up in a sculptor’s studio slated for renovation. After Attleton’s friend Neil Rockingham takes his concerns to DCI Macdonald, Macdonald soon discovers a corpse secreted in the studio. Unfortunately, the absence of a head or hands makes it hard to tell whether Debrette killed Attleton, Attleton killed Debrette, or some unrelated parties got involved. The possibilities seem endless, and that’s just if the body is really Attleton’s. The mystery is so complex, in fact, that Lorac requires the services of some aggressively facetious suspects, a low-key lead detective who’s a welcome change of pace, and an army of nondescript and interchangeable satellite police officers. Ah, those were the days.
