El conspirador

Everyrone has secrets. Harriet, a young, candid and innocent English girl who has just married Desmond Ferneaux-Lighfoot, the captain of the Grenadier Guards who is much older than she, is about to discover this. Dazzled by the poise and intelligence of the man she has chosen to spend her life with, some strange postcards arrive at her house with no writing or sender's name, setting off alarm bells. They are the prelude to a dangerous game Harriet doesn't know the rules to, but which she has no choice but to play. It is now that she sees the real face of her husband... After his death in Spain in 1958, Slater left as a legacy this masterful tale about loyalty and betrayal, written in an incisive, ironic style.
