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
