Trade paperback. The first in a new detective series set in Spain, from the travel writer and author of "Duende!, Andalus, Guerra" and "Sacred Sierra". In the tradition of Michael Dibdin, this has an authentic setting, exciting plot and a great detective, Chief Inspector Max Camara of Valencia.
Synopsis
Chief Inspector Max Camara hates bullfighting, but one hot afternoon in Valencia he has to replace his boss, judging a festival corrida, starring Spain's most famous young matador. That night, to his surprise, he is back in the bullring, and what he finds on the blood-stained sand shocks the city of Valencia to its core.
