Can a man turn away because the price of truth is too high?

Thomas Berrington is once again summoned to attend the Spanish Queen. Sevilla is in turmoil. A plague ravages the city. And the Inquisition takes both innocent and guilty alike.

Through this chaos, Thomas is asked to investigate a series of deaths. Two victims are taken together, but for what reason?
The man seeking his help is an old enemy, but can a man change so much? Thomas must decide whether to trust him or not, but if he makes the wrong decision his own life may be forfeit.

When the eunuch Jorge joins him, together with Lubna, events take on a new urgency as the killer’s attention turns toward Thomas’s friends.

Only by risking the ultimate prize can Thomas win, but is he willing to make the sacrifice if his plan does not succeed?
The Inquisitor is the fifth installment of the Thomas Berrington Historical Mysteries set in the final years of Moorish Spain.
