Two Basque gunmen on the run after a bomb attack find refuge in a hotel whose owner, Carlos, used to belong to their movement. With the World Cup in progress, the Polish football team is staying in the hotel. A television crew is infiltrated by undercover agents.
Bernardo Atxaga, a Basque, was born in 1951. He has written plays, children's books, radio plays and novels, including Obabakoak, which has been published in fourteen languages including English, and won several prizes. His novel, The Lone Man, was described in The Times, by Peter Millar as 'a spellbinding, sympathetic odyssey into the mind of a former terrorist'.
