Las vidas paralelas de un escritor, Emin Kemal, y su traductor, frustrado por su falta de talento literario. Y en el centro, una mujer ambiciosa a cuyo alrededor giran los dos hombres incapaces de escapar del círculo.
Un autor turco en el declive de su carrera muere en extrañas circunstancias. Su traductor al castellano se verá envuelto en la muerte del escritor y en una trama que lo obligará a destapar su propio pasado y el de Emin Kemal en Estambul. En la atmósfera de confusión flota la presencia oscura de Derya, esposa y amante.
Un conmovedor viaje por el tiempo, por paisajes y personajes que nos resultan cercanos y exóticos a la vez gracias a la habilidad narrativa de Luis Leante, Premio Alfaguara de Novela. La Luna Roja es un minucioso juego de espejos, un inquietante relato sobre la identidad y la literatura como parte de la vida.
