An interesting story about medieval Spain and the Spanish Inquisition which involves Captain Alatriste trying to rescue a young woman from a convent only to have his attempt end distastrously with his ward Inigo falling into the clutches of the Inquisition.

As I said when I reviewed the first of these books, the author seems determined to write these things with little plot and lots of atmosphere and poetry. In this current entry, Alatriste is hired to try and help a family (a father and 2 sons) rescue the boys' sister from a convent, where she's been molested by a priest.

I love Perez-Reverte's style of including just enough historical prose concerning the era within his chapters. In my opinion, it was just enough to give you flavor without overwhelming or distracting.
