«El ocho» is the mystery and suspense novel by Katherine Neville, published by Ediciones B in hardback (864 pages, in Spanish).
Catherine Velis, a computer expert, becomes caught up in the search for a legendary chess set that belonged to Charlemagne. A Soviet chess champion warns her of the danger of coveting its pieces, for within them lies the key to a magical formula linked to Freemasonry, alchemy, the Druids and cosmic powers. Buried for a thousand years in a French abbey, the chess set drives the plot from 1790 to 1970 through characters such as Napoleon, Robespierre, Casanova, Voltaire and Catherine the Great, blending suspense, espionage and crime.
It is the first part of the series «El Ocho», which continues in a second book.
Recommended for readers of intrigue novels who enjoy historical plots and enigmas around chess.
