La segunda rosa

$ 24.45
October 1934. Gerardo, a young jeweler, emigrates to Paris fleeing the political turmoil in Spain. Once there, thanks to his astonishing skills as a craftsman, he receives the commission of a lifetime: to create a unique and exclusive jewel for the Duchess of Windsor, the woman for whom King Edward VIII abdicated the throne of England. It is the Windsor Rose, a brooch encrusted with diamonds and featuring a complex opening mechanism. At a reception in Berlin, the Duchess displays the brooch, arousing the envy of Marshal Göring's wife, who is determined to obtain an identical one at any cost. The protagonists become entangled in a web of malice and greed related to the trafficking of diamonds, precious stones, and works of art perpetrated by a Nazi organization during World War II. After the war, a Dutch detective pursues those responsible to bring them to justice. His investigation leads him to Ecuador, following the trail of a beautiful and ambitious woman. But fate has a great surprise in store for them all. Will the Windsor Rose return to their lives? Will justice prevail? Art, love, ambition, war, and much more, in a heartwarming story about the drive to prosper, the perseverance of love, and the tenacity in the pursuit of justice.
