Investigator Arkady Renko, the pariah of the Moscow prosecutor's office, has been assigned the thankless job of investigating a new phenomenon: late-night subway riders report seeing the ghost of Joseph Stalin on the platform of the Chistye Prudy Metro station. The illusion seems part political hocus-pocus and also part wishful thinking, for among many Russians Stalin is again popular; the bloody dictator can boast a two-to-one approval rating. Decidedly better than that of Renko, whose lover, Eva, has left him for Detective Nikolai Isakov, a charismatic veteran of the civil war in Chechnya, a hero of the far right and, Renko suspects, a killer for hire. The cases entwine, and Renko's quests become a personal inquiry fueled by jealousy.

The investigation leads to the fields of Tver outside of Moscow, where once a million soldiers fought. There, amidst the detritus, Renko must confront the ghost of his own father, a favorite general of Stalin's. In these barren fields, patriots and shady entrepreneurs -- the Red Diggers and Black Diggers -- collect the bones, weapons and personal effects of slain World War II soldiers, and find that even among the dead there are surprises.

A hacked database known as the Files has upended the intelligence community. Careers are being destroyed. Dirty deals are showing up on the front page. Assassinations are spreading from Europe to the U.S.

The new head of Treadstone sends Jason Bourne on a mission to find out who has the Files and get them back – or destroy them. But Bourne isn’t alone in this race. The Chinese want the Files. So do the Russians. And the only woman who may be able to help him is a treacherous spy known as Johanna – Bourne’s former lover – who sees the Files as the key to her own vendetta against Treadstone.

Bourne has a rule for friends and enemies alike: Trust no one. That rule may be the only thing keeping him alive, because the hunt for the Files soon takes Bourne inside a twisted labyrinth of murder and betrayal, where everyone has a hidden agenda.

Including Bourne himself.

Operacion Serpiente, es la tercera novela de Julio Benitez. En la misma se conjugan accion, intrigas, crimenes y espionaje. La narracion es la primera de la saga de Harry Gonzalez, inicialmente un investigador de la policia de Glendale, California quien luego participara como agente del FBI en una trama que abarcara tres paises. Desde Los Estados Unidos, luego Mexico hasta Cuba en una especie de Odisea en reversa, el personaje principal no solo enfrenta a una red de espias cubanos, utiliza su pensamiento racional como detective sino que ademas se lanza a una busqueda personal de su identidad. Obra de pura ficcion, contiene tambien elementos de las culturas meso-americanas y caribenas, gracias a su abuela Cachigua quien simbolizara la mezcla de identidades que el propio Gonzales siente como propios y que ayudaran a esa transformacion. Aqui podria aplicarse lo que dijera el critico Rolando Jorge con relacion a Las Tres Muertes de Gurrumina Robinson, la otra obra publicada de la saga Gonzalez: "Una novela como la que se ha propuesto el escritor Julio Benitez, no es cosa de juego. Un puzzle bien escrito, atractivo, documentado, donde fluye un Espanol que se bana, a veces, en ese idioma hermano del exiliado en Los Estados Unidos, el Ingles."
