Cuando Miquel Mascarell se encarga de la búsqueda de un joven anarquista descubre que el éxito en su investigación podría implicar su propia muerte. 1948. Un año después de abandonar el Valle de los Caídos tras su indulto, Miquel Mascarell, el último policía de la Barcelona republicana, ha rehecho su vida al lado de Patro, la joven a quien ya ha salvado dos veces. La visita de un hombre temible y su extraño encargo, buscar la tumba de su sobrino muerto el 18 de julio de 1936, volverá a poner al viejo inspector en el disparadero, enfrentado a sus fantasmas, su supervivencia y moviéndose por una ciudad extraña que vive la posguerra en busca de un nuevo futuro. En esos mismos días, en Madrid, un consejo de guerra juzga al grupo de los ochenta, los maquis que siguen la lucha contra la dictadura. ¿Qué secreto esconde el cadáver de aquel joven cuya tumba busca Mascarell doce años después y sin testigos vivos de aquel incidente? Ambientada con exactitud y precisión en la España de su tiempo, Cinco días de octubre es una novela que nos hace retroceder al pasado para comprender, quizá, nuestro presente y la forma en que sobrevivimos. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION When Miquel Mascarell takes on the search for a young anarchist, he discovers that the success of his investigation could entail his own death. 1948. One year after being pardoned from the Valley of the Fallen, Miquel Mascarell, the last policeman from Republican Barcelona, has rebuilt his life alongside Patro, the young woman he has already saved twice. A visit from a frightening man and his strange mission—to search for the tomb of his nephew who died on July 18, 1936—once again drives the former inspector to distraction, facing his ghosts, his survival, and a strange city that is living the post-war in search of a new future. At the same time, in Madrid, a court-martial judges the resistance movement fighting against the dictatorship. What secret is being hidden by the body of that young man whose tomb Mascarell is searching for, twelve years after the fact and without living witnesses of the incident? Set with precision in the Spain of the era, Five Days of October is a novel that makes us return to the past to—hopefully—understand our present and the way we survive.
