A special 20th anniversary edition of the standalone bestselling, original Second World War espionage thriller, Winter in Madrid, by the author of the much-loved Shardlake series, C.J. Sansom. 'An unsentimental and utterly fascinating portrait of Spain in 1940 . . . Superb' - The Guardian 1940: The Spanish Civil War is over, and Madrid lies ruined, its people starving, while the Germans continue their relentless march through Europe. Britain now stands alone while General Franco considers whether to abandon neutrality and enter the war. 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 old school friend Sandy Forsyth, now a shady Madrid businessman, Harry finds himself involved in a dangerous game - and surrounded by memories. Meanwhile Sandy's girlfriend, ex-Red Cross nurse Barbara Clare, is engaged in a secret mission of her own - to find her former lover Bernie Piper, a passionate Communist in the International Brigades, who vanished on the bloody battlefields of the Jarama. In a vivid and haunting depiction of wartime Spain, Winter in Madrid by C.J. Sansom is an intimate and compelling tale which offers a remarkable sense of history unfolding, and the profound impact of impossible choices. 'A convincing and moving historical novel, which is also an exciting thriller' - Sunday Times 'Sansom's action-packed thriller is a classic tale of old loyalties pitched against new ideologies' - Daily Mail
