Overview
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. Sorprendentemente, lo ponen en libertad y se reencuentra con una antigua amante, Sarah Vandor, con quien vivió una relación tormentosa.
Es el comienzo de la Guerra Fría. La URSS y Estados Unidos se enfrentan secretamente en el terreno de las ideas, pero eso no excluye que, literalmente, rueden algunas cabezas. 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.
