«El asedio» is the historical mystery novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Alfaguara in hardback (816 pages, in Spanish).
In Cádiz in 1811, besieged by the French, women are found murdered by whipping, and before each discovery a bomb has fallen. That connection draws a sinister board where a corrupt policeman, a privateer captain, an heiress, a taxidermist spy, and an eccentric artilleryman cross paths before a hidden player.
It belongs to Alfaguara's Hispánica collection. It was published in February 2010 and won the CWA International Dagger for crime fiction in 2014.
For readers of historical and mystery fiction, particularly those seeking stories of the Spanish War of Independence.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
