It is Spain in 1605. The tensions between the Moors and the Christians are running high. Antonio Hidalgo, a wandering musician, hears from a mistress of a plot to kidnap and ransom the king. What should he do with this crucial knowledge? Should he report it or ignore it? Why should he put his own life at risk? But he has little choice... Antonio recognizes the Moor who makes the threat. He has seen him before but where? Who is this well-dressed man? The king is horrified. Could they try to kill him, as in Guy Fawkes’ attempt on James I? Gordon L. Thomas’s third novel is a spy story, packed with adventure, intrigue, scandal, jealousy and romance. It is a tale of man's inhumanity to man and a stark reminder of a shameful period in Spanish history which many would prefer to forget. For every volume sold the author will donate £1 to Bill and Melinda Gate's charity, End Polio Now. The Gates Foundation trebles this amount for the charity

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
