Tribute of Death
"What are you waiting for?"

Mexico,
1518:
Aztec slave Yaotl, still recuperating after the ordeal he
suffered in City of Spies, is caught up in a dark adventure of grief,
sorcery and vengeful spirits.
Summoned back to the Aztec
capital, Mexico-Tenochtitlan, to confront an old enemy who is
threatening his family, Yaotl learns of a tragedy. A friend's
wife has died in childbirth. According to Aztec belief, her
remains must be protected from warriors and sorcerers who would use it
as a talisman, before her soul is transformed into a ferocious,
man-hating demon.
When the body goes missing, along with one of
the men guarding it, Yaotl gets the blame. Only by finding out for
himself what has happened can he avert the bereaved husband's
wrath. It does not take long to discover that there is more to
the affair than meets the eye. An old associate of the dead
woman's may not be all that he seems, and her family seems strangely
reluctant to help Yaotl investigate him.
Yaotl has barely
begun his enquiries before a series of violent deaths leaves him
wondering whether he is hunting a thief – or a killer is hunting him.
To
get
to the truth and survive the brutal confrontation that lies in wait
will test the wily slave to the limit. For this time, it seems,
he has almost everyone against him.
