The House of Ulloa — Penguin Classics

Then he saw the barrel of a gun aimed dead on target — not at him, as he might have expected, but at the clergymans back.

A new series of twenty distinctive, unforgettable Penguin Classics in a beautiful new design and pocket-sized format, with coloured jackets echoing Penguins original covers.
