Father Quart, a suave Vatican trouble-shooter, is sent to investigate. Experience has taught him to deal with enemies of the Church in all their guises, but nothing has prepared him for the stubborn faith of Father Ferro, or the appeal of the lovely Macarena Bruner, desperate to save the church of her ancestors from her ex-husband, the ruthless banker Pencho Gavira. As Quart is drawn into an intrigue as labyrinthine as the streets of Seville, soon more than his vocation is in danger.* This is a NEAR VG++ copy of the 1st./4th. with absolutely minimal age & shelf wear.* Costa, Margaret Jull 1999-02-18. n.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. There are thrillers about conspiracies, thrillers about murder, thrillers about the Church, and thrillers about old buildings with enough atmosphere to qualify as characters in their own right. The Seville Communion has the good manners to be all of these at once, and to do so with a level of elegance that suggests it would look faintly disappointed if shelved beside anything too noisy. Written by Arturo Pérez-Reverte and published in this 1997 Harvill Press edition, the novel begins with a premise so perfectly irresistible it almost feels unfair on lesser books: a church in Seville appears to be defending itself. Not metaphorically, not in a broad theological sense, but in the distinctly worrying manner of a place with secrets, loyalties, and perhaps a view on who should be allowed to interfere. From there, Pérez-Reverte unfolds a tale of Vatican intrigue, beauty, suspicion, crumbling splendour, and the general realisation that old institutions tend not to survive for centuries without learning a few tricks. At the centre is Father Lorenzo Quart, a Vatican operative sent to investigate matters with the kind of grave competence that thrillers adore and ordinary life almost never supplies. He is drawn into a world of fading aristocracy, ecclesiastical politics, local pride, and one extraordinary church whose fate becomes entangled with money, power, faith, history, and that most dangerous of forces: people who care deeply about the past and do not particularly welcome interference from the present. This being Seville, all of it takes place amid heat, stone, shadow, grace, and the sort of architecture that makes modern office blocks seem like a crime against civilisation. Pérez-Reverte?s real gift is that he never lets the machinery of the thriller overwhelm the seduction of the setting. Seville here is not merely a backdrop. It is part of the spell. The streets, the churches, the decaying grandeur, the tension between sacred inheritance and vulgar progress ? all of it matters. One gets the distinct impression that the city would prefer to keep its mysteries on its own terms, and that anyone attempting neat rational explanations may find themselves outmatched by history, style, or both. There is also something deliciously ironic about the whole enterprise. A Vatican investigation sounds, on paper, as though it might produce solemn paperwork, cautious interviews, and perhaps a strongly worded memorandum. Instead, it turns into a richly atmospheric tangle of danger, beauty and moral ambiguity, with ecclesiastical bureaucracy colliding magnificently with human passion and old-world pride. One is reminded yet again that organised religion, for all its public devotion to order, has always been exceptionally good value when it comes to secrets, factions and dramatic settings. The novel has that distinctly European ability to be intelligent without losing its nerve. It is not in a rush. It allows mood, architecture and conversation to do their work. It understands that suspense can be built from a glance, a chapel, a document, a family, a silence. Readers expecting a purely mechanical page-turner may find instead something richer: a book that combines intrigue with style, and mystery with a lingering affection for the battered magnificence of old things under threat from efficient modern ugliness. And of course there is the title itself: The Seville Communion . It sounds solemn, sacred, faintly beautiful ? and also just ambiguous enough to suggest that whatever communion is taking place may involve more than wafers and liturgy. It is exactly the right title for a novel in which faith, power, identity and place are all in uneasy negotiation, and where holiness and human scheming are never kept quite as separate as official doctrine might prefer. This Very Good copy, sold by Crappy Old Books , has survived admirably, which feels appropriate for a novel so concerned with endurance, preservation and the high drama of old structures refusing to go quietly. It remains an excellent copy of a book that offers readers mystery, intellect, ecclesiastical atmosphere and a gloriously unhurried sense of menace. Ideal for anyone who likes their thrillers with cathedrals, conspiracies, elegance and a certain amount of beautifully managed decay, The Seville Communion is a reminder that the old world may be crumbling, but it can still be dangerously persuasive while it does so.
