«La piel del tambor» is the mystery novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Alfaguara in paperback (589 pages, in Spanish).
A hacker infiltrates the Vatican and ends up investigating a baroque church in Seville that kills to defend itself. The plot mixes mystery and history: an Andalusian aristocrat, a priest-agent and Spanish copla coexist with the legacy of Captain Xaloc, the last corsair who disappeared in Cuba in 1898.
The work was originally published in 1995 and won the Prix Jean-Monnet de littérature européenne in 1997.
For readers of crime fiction, thrillers and historical intrigue who enjoy plots set in Seville and the Vatican.
Periodista, ex reportero de guerra y novelista español, autor de la saga del capitán Alatriste y de novelas como La tabla de Flandes y El club Dumas.
