The tenth century.
Cordoba, the capital of Moorish Spain, is at the centre of a power struggle in the medieval world.
The city is on the brink of war with their sworn enemy, Baghdad.
Its ships are only days away from setting sail on a mission that could decide the future of the whole country.
That is until the Admiral of the Royal Fleet is found murdered.
And soon afterwards Lieutenant Haytham, the man assigned as bodyguard to the Admiral, is found dead as well.
As investigations deepen to find the killer, a much bigger threat soon arises.
The people of Baghdad are creating a terrifying weapon.
They are harvesting the deadly anthrax disease and sealing it in earthenware pots, ready to unleash on Cordoba.
Can the guards of Cordoba get to the bottom of this deadly plot?
Or will they be too late to stop the oncoming blood horizon?
‘Blood Horizon’ is an expertly plotted historical mystery set among the palaces and mosques of 10th century Cordoba. It is perfect for fans of C.J. Sansom.
'Brilliantly plotted and rich in period detail.' - Robert Foster, best-selling author of 'The Lunar Code'.
'A gripping historical mystery.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of 'The Dante Conspiracy'.
Mark Dewar has a fascination for Spain in the time of the Moors, Al Andalus, and for crime fiction. This is the follow up to his first novel, ‘Checkmate’.
