Summary

El amor, la traición y la muerte en la Guerra Fría

Es el año 1947, y Rafael Mallo, escritor trotskista formado en Moscú, está preso en una cárcel franquista, en la agónica espera de que lo fusilen. Lleva siete años encerrado.

Tiempo de canallas es un thriller político, es el recuento de una época, y es, además, una historia de amores y traiciones con un inesperado final.
