Córdoba, año 950. Un asesinato brutal estremece el Califato mientras se llevan a cabo los preparativos de una guerra contra Bagdad. Durante la investigación, las sospechas recaen sobre el almirante de la flota, cuya reputación como hombre de honor se ve manchada.

Los hombres a su mando deben esforzarse para aceptar la verdad acerca de su líder. Entretanto, el califa se dispone a celebrar con un espléndido banquete la inminente salida de la flota, con base en Almería. Pero durante los preparativos de la fiesta, llegará una noticia que afectará el destino de todos, mientras las acusaciones de contrabando, engaño y traición a gran escala ponen en entredicho el éxito de la flota que debe destruir Bagdad.

About the author

Mark Dewar

8 books18 followers
Behind the pseudonym Mark Dewar lies a writing combination (Mark Heywood and Peter Dewar) specialising in historical crime fiction.

Mark Dewar has a fascination for Spain in the time of the Moors, Al Andalus, and for murder most foul. The Cordoba series explores this fascinating period in Spanish history and its finely balanced political situation and threat of imminent war with Baghdad. The absorbing rituals of daily life are played out amongst tightly plotted murder mystery investigations.

The first book in the series was shortlisted for the 2008 Crime Writers Association Debut Dagger Award. In 2012 it was published in Spanish as 'Final de Partida en Cordoba' and in 2014 it was published in English as 'Checkmate'.

Si el primero era malo, el segundo es peor, es repetitivo y lento, va de mas a menos, malo, muy malo. No te engancha en la lectura, te saca una y otra vez
