Generalfranco قصص

Can a patient’s silence kill the doctor? A respected physician in Cordoba, Spain, receives a mysterious phone call—a request to attend to the ailing daughter of a wealthy but secretive family in Madrid. What seems to be a routine house call quickly turns into a disturbing labyrinth of intrigue and mystery, and a fight for the girl’s life. The outcome of that battle will impact the doctor—and the journalist interviewing him—in ways neither imagined.Set against the unstable political climate of General Franco’s Spain in the 1940’s and based on a bizarre real-life incident that remains unsolved to this day, “Verse in Arabic” twists medical ethics and psychosocial tyranny into a cord that pulls at your heart from both ends.

Spain, 1942. General Franco, despite his own beliefs, has made the country neutral. At least, in theory. Spain, as thanks for Germany's aid during the civil war, provides plenty of arms to the German army. And with tensions between Spain's different political factions still high, the entire country seems to be one spark from another all out war. San Sebastian, the seaside city that American reporter Jackie Ramirez currently calls home, is a seeming paradise. Even with the vacationing German officers in the city, it's hard to think that just twelve miles away, across the Pyrenees in France, the war is alive and well. However, with the imminent threat of being sent back to the states if she doesn't find the scoop of a lifetime, the war is the farthest thing from her mind. However, when she witnesses the murder of a German officer at the hands of a mysterious Frenchman, the war is brought right to Jackie's doorstep, and she finds herself wrapped up in it in ways she never could have imagined.
