Reseña del editor

Father Ignaz (Ygnacio) Pfefferkorn, a missionary from Sonora in northwestern Mexico, is caught in the expulsion of all Jesuits in 1767. After surviving eight years of prison, he is incarcerated in La Caridad Monastery (Ciudad Rodrigo, Spain), where the abbot recruits him to help solve two murders. Risking his own life as an unprotected prisoner, he struggles to bring the guilty to justice. "The Storks of La Caridad is beautifully written, as well as meticulously researched. It will grip its readers, shock them, and confound them. Along the way, much valuable and accurate history will be painlessly assimilated. Perhaps this is the art of historical mystery writing at its best. The Storks of La Caridad is a must-read!" ~ The Midwest Book Review "Gruesome murders, cowled monks wielding daggers and a temptress in satin all swirl through the plot of this well-crafted historical mystery.... Weinberg's brooding protagonist battles manfully with his demons..., temptations aplenty test his pious resolve, including the Bishop's sly offer of escape from Spain and further prosecution. Driven figures drive events at La Caridad, and Weinberg rivets the reader right up to the end." ~ Nancy Evans for Southwest Book Views
