The Fencing Master by Arturo P Erez-Reverte
A delightful period whodunit.--USA TodayI 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
