'An unsentimental and utterly fascinating portrait of Spain in 1940... Superb' - The Guardian

A vivid and haunting depiction of wartime Spain, Winter in Madrid by C. J. Sansom is a compelling historical novel that grapples with the profound impact of impossible choices.

1940. The Spanish Civil War is over, and Madrid lies ruined. Now, as General Franco considers whether to abandon neutrality and enter the war, Britain stands alone against Germany's relentless march through Europe.

Into this uncertain world comes Harry Brett: a traumatized veteran of Dunkirk turned reluctant spy for the British Secret Service. Sent to gain the confidence of an old school friend turned shady Madrid businessman, Harry soon finds himself involved in a dangerous game - and surrounded by memories he would rather forget.

'A convincing and moving historical novel, which is also an exciting thriller' - The Sunday Times

'Sansom's action-packed thriller is a classic tale of old loyalties pitched against new ideologies' -Daily Mail
