De la contraportada

"A delightful period whodunit."--USA Today

I n Madrid in 1 8 6 8 , fencing master and man of honor Don Jaime is approached by a mysterious woman who seeks to learn the secret of the unstoppable thrust, an arcane technique known only to him. All too soon he finds himself in the vortex of a plot that includes seduction, secret political documents, and more than one murder. Rich with the historical detail of a decaying world that agonizes-as does the world of fencing itself-over the ideals of honor and chivalry, The Fencing Master is superb literature and a true page-turner.


"Extraordinary . . .The brilliant, final fencing match is pure poetry."-The Denver Post
