Overview: A Mystery of Conscience and Empire
1874. Exiled from Spain for his youthful idealism, Sadurní Enrich arrives in Manila seeking redemption through honest journalism. But in the Spanish colony, words are policed as fiercely as borders. Censorship is absolute, and whispers of rebellion linger after the execution of the priests known as Gomburza.
When Sadurní uncovers a legal dispute involving an obscure Jesuit manuscript and a forgotten hacienda in the valley of Mariquina, he believes he has found a harmless historical story. Instead, he steps into a conspiracy centuries in the making—a secret that could expose the moral rot at the heart of empire.
Pursued by colonial authorities and aided only by an unassuming village woman, a skeptical English merchant, and an Augustinian scholar, he must decide what kind of truth he is willing to defend—and what price he is willing to pay.
The Mariquina Manuscript is a richly atmospheric literary mystery of faith, power, and history—perfect for readers of Louis de Bernières, Elizabeth Kostova, and Arturo Pérez-Reverte.
