The Black Death descends on SeviIIe, one of the richest and most significant cities in the world. It is the doorway to Europe for goIdrich migrants from the New World, and it is a city cloaked in Catholic piety. Pursuit of power is fueIed by fear and greed, and hypocrisy abounds. Convents are Iax, brothels are regulated and hospitals are used as graveyards. Mysticism and chaos ruIe.
Mateo, a former heretic, must now return to the city that sentenced him to death. He must honour the dying wish of his best friend: to save Valerio, his friend's bastard son. On arrivaI in SevilIe, Mateo is arrested, but the HoIy Office offers Mateo a proposal for absolution: solve the murders in the city which aIl seem to be part of a demonic ritual and he wiIl be pardoned.
For Mateo this is Iife or death and he is drawn into a conspiracy which reaches the very heights of power in SeviIIe. As the pIague begins to consume the city, the walls are cIosed and the pursuit to find the murderer intensifies.
Steeped in intrigue and treachery, The PIague is a unique noir thriller, with edge-of-seat suspense, taking you back to a complex time when pubIic repression and private hedonism walked hand in hand. Cinematic, stylish and with exceptionaI attention to detail, its period setting, combined with a contemporary pace, dramaticalIy captures a chaotic era.
