At the height of the Spanish Inquisition, high-ranking noblemen begin dropping like flies, with alarming frequency and unexplained violence. But can local 16th-century sheriff Ruy de Mendoza discern who's responsible when no one wants to cooperate? After all, before Mendoza can even identify the bodies, the crime scenes are mysteriously cleared - and the villagers pretend the murders never happened.
A suffocating atmosphere of fear and suspicion permeates this grim historical thriller. The weight of the Inquisition presses down as a detective navigates a web of silence and denial. Every shadow hides a potential threat in this unsettling, oppressive world.
