Summary

Basada en hechos verídicos, esta apasionante novela cuestiona algunos de los tópicos más difundidos en torno a la vida del almirante, como su nacimiento en Génova, su condición de judío converso o el que llegó a América por casualidad.

En Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, los restos de Cristóbal Colón desaparecen misteriosamente de su tumba. Un extraño jeroglífico es la única pista dejada por los saqueadores...
 
El mismo anagrama aparece en la fachada de la catedral de Sevilla, y los restos que allí se conservaban también han sido robados...
 
Tres investigadores saben que no se trata de un simple expolio: el jeroglífico estampado en ambos mausoleos es la enigmática firma que usaba el almirante.
 
Esta será la clave para resolver el enigma, y llevará a un final inesperado que cambiará la visión de la humanidad sobre el hombre que unió dos mundos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Based on true events, this gripping novel questions some of the most widespread subjects surrounding the admiral’s life, such as his birth in Genoa, his status as a converted Jew, or the idea that he arrived in America by chance.

In Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, the remains of Christopher Columbus mysteriously vanish from his tomb. A strange hieroglyph is the only clue left by the looters...
 
The same hieroglyph appears on the facade of Seville’s cathedral, and the remains preserved there have also been stolen...
 
Three investigators know that this is not just a simple robbery: the hieroglyph stamped on both mausoleums is the enigmatic signature once used by the admiral.
 
This will be the key to solving the mystery, leading to an unexpected conclusion that will change humanity's perception of the man who united two worlds.
