Synopsis "El Puente de Los Asesinos = The Assassin's Bridge (in Spanish)"

Cruza el puente de los Asesinos con Arturo Pérez-Reverte y vive la trepidante conspiración para asesinar al dogo de Venecia. Diego Alatriste bajó del carruaje y miró en torno, desconfiado. Tenía por sana costumbre, antes de entrar en un sitio incierto, establecer por dónde iba a irse, o intentarlo, si las cosas terminaban complicándose. El billete que le ordenaba acompañar al hombre de negro estaba firmado por el sargento mayor del tercio de Nápoles, y no admitía discusión alguna; pero nada más se aclaraba en él. Nápoles, Roma y Milán son algunos escenarios de esta nueva aventura del capitán Alatriste. Acompañado del joven Íñigo Balboa, a Alatriste le ordenan intervenir en una conjura crucial para la corona española: un golpe de mano en Venecia para asesinar al dogo durante la misa de Navidad, e imponer por la fuerza un gobierno favorable a la corte del rey católico en ese estado de Italia. Para Alatriste y sus camaradas --el veterano Sebastián Copons y el peligroso moro Gurriato, entre otros--, la misión se presenta difícil, arriesgada y llena de sorpresas. Suicida, tal vez; pero no imposible. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Naples, Rome, and Milan are some of the backdrops in Captain Alatriste's latest exploit. Accompanied by young Íñigo Balboa, Alatriste is given orders to intervene in a conspiracy critical to the Spanish Crown--a swift attack to assassinate the Doge of Venice during the Christmas Mass and to forcibly place a new head of government more conducive to the Catholic King's interests in this Italian region. For Alatriste and his comrades--veteran soldier Sebastián Copons and the dangerous Moor Gurriato, among others--, the mission rapidly becomes difficult, risky and full of surprises. Suicidal certainly, but not impossible.
