«El asedio» is the historical novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, published by Punto de Lectura in paperback (816 pages, in Spanish).
Cádiz, 1811: besieged by the French, the city sees young women appear murdered by whipping after each bomb falls. That pattern draws a sinister chessboard where a corrupt policeman, an heiress, a privateer captain and an eccentric artilleryman cross paths in an intrigue mixing crime, history, chance and military strategy.
«El asedio» won the Dagger Award for crime fiction in 2014 and this edition belongs to the Formato Grande collection from Punto de Lectura.
A lengthy work, close to the crime and historical genres, for readers who enjoy ensemble plots and wartime settings.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
