Over the last thirty years, he has published a dozen titles in which he has explored very diverse characters who have marked history due to different circumstances. His notable books include Paths of Freedom (1992), The Foot of Jaipur (1995), The Mountains of Buddha (1997), It Was Midnight in Bhopal (2001) -in collaboration with Dominique Lapierre-, Indian Passion (2005), The Red Sari (2008), The Empire Is You (Planeta Prize 2011), Skin Deep (2015), My Sin (Primavera Prize 2017), Fireproof (2021) and They Want Us Dead (Espasa), published in 2023 about the figure of Venezuelan exile Leopoldo López.
