Paloma Sánchez-Garnica releases new novel set in 1968 New York

Author Paloma Sánchez-Garnica has released her new novel, ‘Un hombre de honor’ (A Man of Honor), published by Planeta. The story shifts from her previous work set in post-war Germany to the turbulent atmosphere of New York City in 1968.

The narrative explores the intersection of the Cosa Nostra, the Vietnam War, and widespread corruption within Harlem police stations and the Hoboken docks. Sánchez-Garnica describes 1968 as a magnetic yet convulsive year marked by brutal political violence, including the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy, and growing public scrutiny regarding the United States' role in the Vietnam War.
