Benito Cabo Guillermo (Avilés, Asturias, 1963) studied law at the Universidad Complutense de Madrid, and has worked as a specialist in private law from his office in the capital for 20 years. A general history enthusiast, he is particularly passionate about the convulsive period starting immediately after the First World War and ending in 1945. Interested in the less well-known topics from this crucial stage in humanity's history, he is a tireless researcher who loves to dive into the most remote aspects of history. He is a collector of objects from this period and a great reader of all sorts of contemporary books and essays. This is his first novel, and he is already preparing the second.
