Who exactly is Danziger? He's a writer of letters for illiterate immigrants on Manhattan's Lower East Side - "a steadfast practitioner of concealing and forgetting" for his clients, and perhaps for himself: He hints at a much worldlier past. What and whoever he really is or has been, he has a seemingly boundless knowledge of the city and its denizens. And he knows much more than the mere identity of the floating corpse. For one thing, he knows how the dead man was involved in New York City's "Little Deutschland", where swastikas were proudly displayed just months before.

From the widely acclaimed author of The Prisoner of Guantánamo and The Double Game, an electrifying, timely, psychologically gripping descent into the hidden, expanding world of drone warfare.

Vivo o muerto, el enemigo había llegado a la costa de Guantánamo y eso era motivo de alarma en La Habana. El cadáver de un soldado norteamericano alcanza la orilla al otro lado de la Base Naval entre las iguanas y los guardias fronterizos cubanos. ¿Qué está sucediendo en el Gitmo, el nombre preferido del Pentágono para denominar a la reconvertida cárcel de alta seguridad para los detenidos en la guerra mundial contra el terrorismo? ¿Quién está matando a soldados norteamericanos? Revere Falk, un arabista y agente del FBI destinado en Guantánamo para interrogar a los detenidos, se tendrá que hacer cargo de la investigación.
