The Nautical Chart

<div>&ldquo;A taut, elegant mystery&rdquo; set against the historical backdrop of nineteenth-century Madrid (St. Louis Post-Dispatch). 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 honor of his ancient art. His friends spend their days in cafes discussing plots at court, but Jaime&rsquo;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 intrigue against which his old-fashioned values are no protection. &ldquo;A delightful period whodunit&rdquo; (USA Today), The Fencing Master &ldquo;succeeds admirably as both a vivid picture of an unfamiliar culture and as high, sophisticated entertainment&rdquo; (Kirkus Reviews).</div>

The Fencing Master

<div>An &ldquo;intricate literary mystery [of] wrenching effect&rdquo; by the internationally acclaimed, bestselling author of The Club Dumas (The New Yorker). Someone has hacked into the pope&rsquo;s personal computer&mdash;not to spy on the Vatican or to spread a virus, but to send an urgent plea for help: SAVE OUR LADY OF THE TEARS. The crumbling Baroque church in the heart of Seville is slated for demolition&mdash;and two of its defenders have suddenly died. Accidents? Or murders? And was the church itself somehow involved? The Vatican promptly dispatches Father Lorenzo Quart, their worldly and enormously attractive emissary, to investigate the situation, track down the hacker&mdash;known only as &ldquo;Vespers&rdquo;&mdash;and stay alive. Thus begins a sophisticated and utterly suspenseful page-turner that has taken its readers by storm. &ldquo;An elegant thriller that is as much about the elusive quest for happiness as it is about solving the murders.&rdquo; &mdash;The Denver Post &ldquo;An indelible tale of love, faith, and greed.&rdquo; &mdash;People, Page-Turner of the Week</div>

The Seville Communion

<div>&ldquo;A sleek, sophisticated, madly clever chamber mystery&rdquo; from the international bestselling author&mdash;the basis for the film Uncovered starring Kate Beckinsale (The New York Times Book Review). A fifteenth-century painting by a Flemish master is about to be auctioned when Julia, a young art restorer, discovers a peculiar inscription hidden in a corner: Who killed the knight? In the painting, the Duke of Flanders and his knight are locked in a game of chess, and a dark lady lurks mysteriously in the background. Julia is determined to solve the five-hundred-year-old murder, but as she begins to look for clues, several of her friends in the art world are brutally murdered in quick succession. Messages left with the bodies suggest a crucial connection between the chess game in the painting, the knight&rsquo;s murder, the sordid underside of the contemporary art world, and the latest deaths. Just when all of the players in the mystery seem to be pawns themselves, events race toward a shocking conclusion. A thriller like no other, The Flanders Panel presents a tantalizing puzzle for any connoisseur of mystery, chess, art, and history. &ldquo;A beguiling puzzle&mdash;a game within a game within a game&mdash;solved in perplexing but entertaining fashion.&rdquo;&mdash;The Philadelphia Inquirer &ldquo;For mystery fans who yearn for literate, intelligent, sophisticated whodunits, Spanish author P&eacute;rez-Reverte&rsquo;s highly acclaimed story fills the bill perfectly . . . An inventive plot, gripping suspense, fascinatingly complex characters, and innovative incorporation of art, literature, and music will enthrall readers looking for something a little different.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist &ldquo;This intelligent mystery . . . comes up with a satisfying twist at the end.&rdquo;&mdash;Library Journal</div>
