520    -- Cadiz, 1811: The Spanish port city has been surrounded 
       by Napoleon's army for a year. Their backs to the sea, its
       residents endure routine bombardments and live in constant
       fear of a French invasion. And now the bodies of random 
       women have begun to turn up throughout the city--victims 
       of a shadowy killer. Police Comisario Rogelio Tizon has 
       been assigned the case. Known for his razor-sharp 
       investigation skills--as well as his brutal interrogation 
       methods--Tizon has seen everything. Or so he thought. His 
       inquiry into the murders reveals a surprising pattern: 
       Each victim has been found where a French bomb exploded. 
       Logic tells him to pass it off as coincidence; his 
       instinct tells him otherwise, and he begins to view Cadiz 
       as a living chessboard, with himself and the killer the 
       main players. In a city pushed to the brink, violence and 
       desperation weave together the lives of a group of 
       unlikely people: the Spanish taxidermist who doubles as a 
       French spy; the young woman who uses her father's 
       mercantile business to run the enemy blockade; the rough-
       edged corsair who tries to resist her charms; and the 
       brilliant academic furiously trying to perfect the French 
       army's artillery and bring Cadiz to its knees once and for
       all. And as Napoleon presses closer, Tizon must make his 
       next move on the bomb-scarred chessboard before the killer
       claims another pawn. Combining fast-paced narrative with 
       scrupulous historical accuracy, this smart, suspenseful 
       tale of human resilience is Arturo Perez-Reverte at the 
       height of his talents. -- -- -- --The Denver Post "Few 
       contemporary writers conjure up derring-do as well as 
       Arturo Perez-Reverte."--The Christian Science Monitor From
       the Hardcover edition. 
520    A tale set during the Napoleonic siege of Cádiz finds 
       unwavering police commissioner Rogelio Tizón investigating
       a series of murders committed by one of several possible 
       suspects trapped within the bomb-stricken city.
