Now he is called to Salamanca, where deep in the corridors of one of the oldest universities in the world a professor is found murdered in his office. There are no witnesses except for a lone colleague found sobbing at his door, who has been arrested and Armada is brought in to carry out his execution.



But Armada senses there is more to the story and his investigation soon finds the victim was leading a secret double life, one that may tie him to soldiers fighting in the Portuguese War of Independence. When another murder is uncovered, so too is a conspiracy touching nearly ever suspect in the case and revealing secrets that had been carefully hidden for years.
