In Cádiz in 1811, under French siege, the murders of young women seem to be preceded by enemy bombs. A corrupt policeman, an heiress, a corsair captain, a taxidermist spy, and an eccentric artilleryman cross paths in an investigation that turns the city into a board ruled by chance.

For readers of historical and mystery fiction seeking a multi-character plot with a wartime and detective backdrop.
