Very interesting book! Fantastic writing!

From the back cover:
Madrid, 1868: Fencing master and man of honor Don Jaime is approached by a mysterious woman who seeks to learn the secret of the unstoppable thrust, an arcane technique only known to him. All too soon, he finds himself in the vortex of a plot that includes seduction, secret political documents, and more than one murder. Rich with the historical detail of a decaying world that agonizes - as does the world of fencing itself - over the ideals of honor and chivalry, The Fencing Master is superb literature and a true page-turner.
