While Spain and America are both fighting for their independence, a different type of battle is being waged in Europe's most liberal city. Young women are found dead, their throats severed by the cutting slash of a whip. And in each place, just before another dead body is found, a French bomb has exploded. These events create a sinister sketch over the city: a complex chess board where the hand of a mysterious player \u0026amp;mdash; a ruthless murderer, chance, the direction of the winds, the estimation of probabilities \u0026amp;mdash; moves the pieces that determine the fate of the characters: a savage and corrupt police officer, the heiress to a local commercial empire, an unscrupulous privateer, a misanthropic taxidermist and spy, a guerilla fighter from the coast capable of inspiring the most tender feelings, and an eccentric artilleryman more concerned with finding a solution to the short range of his mortar and shells than with war. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEl asedio reconstructs the extraordinary pulsating beat of a real or imaginary world. It is the end of an era and also the story of individuals condemned by History, sentenced to live a life that, just as the city they call home \u0026amp;mdash; an enigmatic, ambiguous and misleading Cadiz, a city whose brightness and luminosity is only skin deep \u0026amp;mdash; will never be the same.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PRH Grupo Editorial","offers":[{"title":"US - Hardback","offer_id":49741140394211,"sku":"DTRPRUS-9788466350013","price":111.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1778\/4925\/files\/6e036cdb9f57-9788466350013.jpg?v=1789590148","url":"https:\/\/buybookbook.com\/zh-mo\/products\/el-asedio-the-siege","provider":"買書書 BuyBookBook","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
