Cádiz, 1811, besieged by the French: bodies of young women appear and, shortly before each discovery, a bomb explodes. A corrupt policeman, an heiress, a corsair, a taxidermist spy, a guerrilla fighter and a French artilleryman are trapped in a macabre game where chance and the calculation of probabilities decide fate.
The original novel is «El asedio» (2010); the Portuguese edition features a translation by Helena Pitta.
For readers of intrigue and mystery, with Napoleonic Cádiz as the setting.
Spanish journalist, former war reporter and novelist, author of the Captain Alatriste saga and novels such as The Flanders Panel and The Club Dumas.
