Description
En Ucrania, en los años 50, la KGB ha construido una réplica perfecta de una ciudad irlandesa con el único objetivo de entrenar en ella a los futuros agentes terroristas y de espionaje. Y allí inicia su aprendizaje Mikhail Kelly, huérfano de un militante irlandés del IRA ahorcado por los ingleses. Años después, en 1982, M. Kelly llega a Irlanda. Su misión: sembrar el caos, desestabilizar el país, impedir cualquier acuerdo entre católicos y protestantes. Para lograrlo, ningún obstáculo le arredra, ni siquiera sus hábitos y su condición de sacerdote. Sus acciones provocan el desconcierto no sólo entre los servicios secretos ingleses sino entre los propios dirigentes del IRA. M. Kelly, sin embargo, consciente de que poderosas manos desconocidas manejan su vida, acorralado por el IRA y el Scotland Yard, abandonado y condenado a muerte por la KGB, decide vengarse de todo y de todos llevando a cabo en solitario su última acción: el asesinato del papa Juan Pablo II durante su visita a Inglaterra. Y como telón de fondo de esta vibrante novela de acción y suspense, el oscuro mundo del espionaje y los servicios secretos, las ocultas peripecias de esa guerra sorda entre las grandes potencias, la situación en el Ulster y la guerra de las Malvinas.
