Celebrate a decade of C. J. Sansom's gripping standalone novel, Winter in Madrid, with this special 10th anniversary edition. From the acclaimed author of the beloved Shardlake series comes a tale of espionage, love, and impossible choices set against the backdrop of war-torn Spain.

It's 1940, and Madrid lies in ruins following the Spanish Civil War. As its citizens struggle to survive, the German war machine continues its inexorable advance across Europe. Britain stands alone, while General Franco contemplates abandoning neutrality and joining the conflict.

Enter Harry Brett, a shell-shocked survivor of Dunkirk, reluctantly recruited by British Intelligence. His mission: to infiltrate the inner circle of Sandy Forsyth, an old schoolmate turned dubious businessman in Madrid. As Harry navigates this perilous world, he finds himself ensnared in a web of danger and haunted by ghosts of the past.

Meanwhile, Sandy's partner, Barbara Clare, a former Red Cross nurse, embarks on her own clandestine quest. She's determined to locate her missing lover, Bernie Piper, a passionate Communist who vanished amidst the chaos of the International Brigades on the blood-soaked Jarama battlefields.

C. J. Sansom's Winter in Madrid offers a haunting and intimate portrait of wartime Spain, weaving a compelling narrative that brings history to life. This masterful tale explores the profound consequences of choices made in the crucible of war, leaving readers spellbound until the very last page.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.

This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.

We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.

Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
