Product Description
Product Description
Mexico, 1517. The Aztec capital is awash with fear and rumours. A strange figure has been seen running through the streets. A being with the face of a snake, his body covered in glittering green plumage: Quetzalcoatl - the Feathered Serpent. Is it an omen? Or is it the god himself, come to warn of impending disaster? Yaotl, the Chief Minister's slave, has more immediate matters to worry about. Engaged in a desperate search for his son, he's on the run from his vengeful master, the all-powerful Lord Feathered-in-Black. Attempting to escape his master's bloodthirsty warriors, Yaotl stumbles on a dismembered, unrecognisable corpse. As he pieces together the clues to who the dead man was and how he died, Yaotl finds himself drawn into an affair of greed, jealousy and lust among the ancient, secretive society of the feather workers, the Aztec's foremost craftsmen.

Did you enjoy 'Demon of the air' as much as I did? If so, by all means get a hold of this book because it is as good if not better.
'Shadow of the lords' picks up right where 'Demon of the air' ended (though you can easily read the former without having read the latter) and straight away Yaotl, that most unlikely of detectives, is back in the thick of action. Having Montezuma's Aztec empire as a setting makes it all the more colourful and exotic, though I'm convinced that Levack could write about any other period in time and place and carry it off.
Levack is apparently a former solicitor, and in my humble opinion the world would probably be a much nicer place if more solicitors turned full-time writer!
