EL CEMENTERIO DE LAS TUMBAS VACÍAS

Sierra i Fabra, Jordi
Among high society of England at the beginning of the last century, appearances come first, although behind them there are often only meanness, cowardice and abjection. Jonathan's father was disowned by his family, the Loughton’s, one of the wealthiest families in the county, when he married an East Indian. The young boy will only meet his powerful grandfather at the age of sixteen, at his father's funeral. This is also how he will meet his clever and charming cousin, Eileen, to whom he feels madly attracted.

But meeting these two people will change Jonathan’s future forever. He, a clever and educated boy but used to living in the countryside, will have to discover and face his unknown rich and powerful family heritage, especially after his grandfather's death: Secrets, crimes, mysteries, brawls, jealousy, envy, alliances, losses and loves will suddenly become the plot of the major adventure of his life.
