October 1938, and foreign correspondent Jack Telford is on the run in northern Spain, territory now controlled by Franco's fascists. And he's killed somebody close to the Generalisimo's heart. Telford's a hunted man, and hunted by three different and deadly enemies. In a climactic chase from Madrid to the Republic's last outpost, in Alicante, during the closing days of the Spanish Civil War, Jack will learn hard lessons about the conflict between morality and survival.
