En Todo el oro de Lisboa, Juan Patricio Riveroll expone hasta qué punto pueden arrastrarnos los pecados de las generaciones pasadas cuando se revela el rostro oculto de la familia.
Desde que la escuchó en una intensa noche de juerga en Lisboa, el narrador se obsesionó con la misteriosa historia del padre de Santiago, Pol Espasí, un catalán exiliado en Portugal durante la Guerra Civil española, quien murió dejando una estela de interrogantes relacionadas con varios documentos vinculados con el contrabando de piezas de arte y una red de espionaje nazi.
A través de investigaciones y hallazgos extraordinarios, el protagonista y Santiago pretenden desenredar la maraña alrededor de la muerte del posible espía, su implicación con agentes alemanes durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la inusual vida literaria del bisabuelo del narrador, que escribió una versión alterna del Quijote, comparando sus delirios con los del ingenioso hidalgo. Desvelar esos misterios pondrá a los dos amigos frente a una realidad que quizá no estén preparados para enfrentar.
