Una gran aventura nos lleva a un escenario exótico y apasionante, la China en los años veinte, en busca del tesoro del Primer Emperador
Elvira, una pintora española afincada en París, recibe la noticia de que su marido ha muerto en su casa de Shanghai. Acompañada por su sobrina, parte desde Marsella en barco para recuperar el cadáver de Rémy sin imaginarse la gran aventura que la espera.
Cuando al fin pisan tierra firme, después de una travesía interminable, comienza para Elvira y Fernanda la mayor peripecia que nunca hubieran imaginado vivir. Sin tiempo para reaccionar, se verán perseguidas por los eunucos imperiales y los sicarios de la Banda Verde, que quieren robarles el “cofre de las cien joyas.”
Huyen en un viaje apasionante por el corazón de China hasta Xi'an, donde, con la ayuda del anticuario Lao Jiang, la sabiduría oriental del maestro Jade Rojo y la inteligencia de Biao, podrán descifrar las claves y superar las arriesgadas pruebas para encontrar la tumba del Primer Emperador y la última pieza del secreto mejor guardado de la historia de la humanidad.

Todo Bajo el Cielo: Novela (Spanish Edition)

From the bestselling author of The Last Cato comes an addictively entertaining adventure in a land of danger and mystery.
A prim, straitlaced Spanish painter living in Paris, Elvira De Poulain is shocked to hear of her profligate husband’s death and travels to Shanghai to claim his body and put his affairs in order. Overwhelmed by his still-outstanding debts and scandals—adrift in an exotic city teeming with unfamiliar sights, sounds, and smells—she discovers a treasure among her late husband’s detritus: a beautifully crafted box holding clues to the location of the remains of China’s First Emperor...and the unimaginable riches buried alongside him.
Joining forces with a colorful Irish journalist, a wily local antiquarian, and a brilliant orphaned servant boy, Elvira is immediately swept up into the adventure of a lifetime. But she and her motley partners are not alone in their quest—and those who pursue them have murdered before, and would murder again, to possess the wealth of an ancient dynasty.
