The Incubus

By David Penny

He comes in the night to steal your final breath.

For Thomas Berrington, torn between two warring civilisations, Ronda is meant to be an escape from the madness engulfing Gharnatah. For al-Zagal, the default leader of al-Andalus, it is a return to his mountain stronghold. In the year 1485 this should be a time of recovery and replenishment.

Until the Spanish army arrives, spreading across the plain below towering cliffs. And in the town women are being murdered, so subtly the first deaths go unnoticed.

Once more Thomas and Jorge are thrown into the pursuit of a killer as the world around them changes, and the end of a once great civilisation draws closer. Can they unmask the Incubus before he steals the breath of more victims?

Set in the final years of the Moorish Empire that once ruled Spain, The Incubus is the fourth book in the acclaimed Thomas Berrington mysteries.
