A special 10th anniversary edition of the haunting, standalone novel from the bestselling author of the Shardlake series, C. J. Sansom.
C. J. Sansom was educated at Birmingham University, where he took a BA and then a PhD in history. After working in a variety of jobs, he retrained as a solicitor and practised in Sussex, until becoming a full-time writer. Winter in Madrid is his third novel.

characters with satisfying precision

superb achievement
