El ángel y la muerte

Seville, 17th century. After fifteen years in the New World, Friar Diego de Luna returns to his hometown. He does not return by choice: a former superior has assigned him an unsettling task—to investigate a series of crimes that appear to be ritualistic in nature. Yet the investigation stirs up something else: a trace of his own past that forces him to confront the mystery... and himself. In a Seville of chiaroscuro—where faith coexists with corruption and power reeks of both sulfur and incense—Friar Diego moves through alleyways, sacristies, and secret passageways. He is accompanied by a young apprentice, yet stalked by his own ghosts. With every step, he draws closer to a truth that is unexpected, dangerous... and uncomfortably near. Can a man of faith live with doubt? How far will he dare to go in pursuit of justice? And what price will he have to pay? *The Angel and Death* is a novel that blends crime intrigue and history with the intensity of a thriller and the richness of the finest historical fiction. It offers a fascinating immersion into the dark heart of Baroque Seville.
