Perez-Reverte, Arturo The Club Dumas
Vintage March 17, 1998 0-679-77754-7 / 9780679777540 Paperback Very Good
Creasing to spine, o/w a clean softcover, no markings throughout: Fallen angels, satanic manuals, and a passion for the works of Raphael Sabatini and Alexandre Dumas among others--this is the stuff of Spanish author Arturo Pérez-Reverte's engrossing novel The Club Dumas. Set in a world of antiquarian booksellers where dealers would gladly betray their own mothers to get their hands on a rare volume, The Club Dumas is a thinking person's thriller: in addition to a riveting plot, the book is full of intriguing details that range from the working habits of Alexandre Dumas to how one might go about forging a 17th-century text. Woven through these meditations is enough murder, sex, and the occult to keep both the hero, Lucas Corso, and the reader hopping.

Perez-Reverte, Arturo The Seville Communion
Harvest Books May 6, 1999 0-15-600639-1 / 9780156006392 Paperback Near Fine
Spain's Arturo Perez-Reverte continues his string of comfortably old-fashio ned, modestly intellectual thrillers with a touching and suspenseful story of faith and duty, set in the timeless and enchanting city of Seville. "In Seville different histories were superimposed and interdependent," he write s, aided by Sonia Soto's seamless translation. "A rosary stringing together time, blood and prayers in different languages beneath a blue sky and wise sun that leveled everything over the centuries. Stone survivors that could still be heard. You just had to forget for a moment the camcorders, postca rds, coaches full of tourists and cheeky young girls, and put your ear to t he stones and listen." As in his previous surprise bestsellers--The Club Du mas and The Flanders Panel, both available in paperback--Perez-Reverte take s a supposedly cool observer and turns the person into a hot-blooded partic ipant in the action. In The Seville Communion it's Father Lorenzo Quart, wh o works for an investigative branch of the Vatican that is referred to by a n angry, upstaged Archbishop of Seville as "you and your mafiosi in Rome, p laying God's police." Father Quart, a very attractive man with prematurely gray hair cropped short, wears expensive suits and has to fight off the wom en who test his vows of celibacy. His toughest challenge is a breathtaking, titled beauty named Macarena, whose banker husband is at the center of a p lot to tear down a historic church. Two people have already been killed bec ause of the intrigue, and more violence threatens as Father Quart is pursue d by a trio of ineptly dangerous villains, straight out of Bogart's Beat th
