Book Description: Fencing is not a game but a science. The outcome is invariably the same: triumph or disaster, life or death... It is 1868; Spain teeters on the brink of revolution. Jaime Astarloa is a master-fencer of the old school, priding himself on the precision, dignity and honour of his ancient art; his friends spend their days in cafes discussing plots at court, but Jaime's obsession is to perfect the irresistible sword thrust. Then Adela de Otero, violet-eyed and enigmatic, appears at his door. When Jaime takes her on as a pupil he finds himself embroiled in dark political intrigues against which his old-fashioned values are no protection.
Editorial Review: You will want to reach the book's nearly perfect ending in a single sitting * Time Out * "The author is in the best sense a romantic and to read him is to rediscover the delights of Dumas and Conan Doyle" -- Amanda Craig * The Times * "As assured and elegant as Don Jaime's sword thrusts" -- Stephanie Merritt * Observer * "A delight... the thriller as it out to be" -- Allan Massie * Scotsman *
