Ernesto Guevara Lynch, father and son (the future “Che”) are both active members of Argentina Action, an organization whose goal is to investigate Nazi military activities in their country. During the last months of World War II, they decided to get into what they believe to be a Nazi bastion -Hotel Eden, a place where they themselves have stayed with their family a few years before.

Ernesto’s father is hired to redevelop the golf course of the hotel, while Ernesto, thirteen, revives an acquaintance with the woman who had been his nurse, Helena Werber, and becomes a radio operator for SS.  Thanks to Helena, Ernesto manages to obtain confidential information, especially about an impending arms delivery. But it is still necessary to use this information to deceive the vigilance of Raynard, a young Nazi Goebbels protégé, who dream of seducing Helena …

The artwork here is lovely. Nicely detailed and bringing the atmosphere of this dangerous time in Argentina to life.  “Style” says it all –look at that cover!
