ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A THRILLING JOURNEY TO THE BIRTH OF THE BRITISH SECRET SERVICES. A story of loyalty and betrayal. A spy caught between duty and the past.

London, 1809. Napoleon inexorably consolidates his rule over Europe while the British secret service struggles to contain the discouragement and mistrust reigning within its ranks. Gabriel Spencer, a spy with a Spanish mother and an English father, tracks down the leak that has thwarted England's latest attempt to undermine French intelligence--and that has nearly cost him his own life. As he progresses in his investigation, Spencer will have to draw on his memories of youth to try to uncover the truth, facing dilemmas that will force him to rethink the meaning of loyalty, honor, and duty.

With meticulous attention to detail and a breakneck pace, Sergio Mayo bursts onto the scene with this novel as one of the most promising voices in Spanish historical fiction.
