'Lynes knows his history and tells the story with verve' - Historical Novel Society

1495 Seville. Can Isaac save his falsely accused friend by tracking down the real killer?

The Inquisition is determined to execute heretics like Isaac - those who practice Judaism in secret. Queen Isabella supports the Catholic church when it accuses the Jewish community of ritual killings - the 'blood libel'. Friends and family are arrested and set against each other. Isaac is determined to find the true killer and disprove the 'blood libel'. King Ferdinand offers to help him - can Isaac trust him?

As the mystery unravels what will Isaac uncover about himself, his friends, and his family?

Praise for Blood Libel, award winner at the Emirates Literature Festival:

'Written with cinematic flair. The terror, danger, and suspicious atmosphere prevalent at the time is palpable' 5* Amazon Review

"There's no escaping the Inquisition, and horrible things do happen -- but they are necessary to the story and not overly dwelt on. Isaac is a wise, astute and appealing investigator. Events are cleverly played out through his perspective, and that of a friar involved in the inquisition, and we are kept guessing to the end. I'm looking forward to reading the next Isaac Alvarez Mystery." VEH Masters, author of 'The Castilian'

"M Lynes not only brought the Inquisition to life, but he also manages to immerse the reader in the anxiety of the time. I would recommend this book to anyone that is a fan of historic fiction. I couldn't imagine enjoying a book about such a violent time but I found myself very appreciative of this unique and enthralling period." Debbie Viscosi, The Wayward Reader
