Una edición estuche con dos novelas imprescindibles de Julia Navarro: Dime quién soy y Dispara, yo ya estoy muerto.

Dime quién soy

Espionaje e intriga en estado puro, amores y desamores desgarrados, aventura e historia de un siglo hecho pedazos, Dime quién soy es un apasionante relato protagonizado por unos personajes inolvidables cuyas vidas construyen un magnífico retrato de la historia del siglo XX.
 
Un periodista recibe la propuesta de investigar la vida de su bisabuela, Amelia Garayoa, una mujer de la que solo sabe que huyó abandonando a su marido y a su hijo poco antes de que estallara la guerra civil española. Para rescatarla del olvido deberá reconstruir su historia desde los cimientos encajando, una a una, todas las piezas del inmenso y extraordinario puzle de su vida.
 
Marcada por cuatro hombres que la cambiarán para siempre -el empresario Santiago Carranza, el revolucionario francés Pierre Comte, elperiodista estadounidense Albert James y el médico militar vinculado al nazismo Max von Schumann-, la historia de Amelia es la de una antiheroína presa de sus propias contradicciones que cometerá errores que no terminará nunca de pagar y que acabará sufriendo, en carne propia, el azote despiadado tanto del nazismo como de la dictadura soviética.
