From the Author
The first Inspector Ruiz mysteryOn the eve of the Spanish Civil War, murder has become so commonplace in Madrid that it passes almost unnoticed, but Inspector Paco Ruiz is not a man to look the other way when the body of a youn woman is discovered in Retiro Park. The case becomes personal right from the start, and Paco's fascination increases as time passes and no one comes forward to claim the body. Against a background of political turmoil - and despite threats to his own life - he follows the only real lead he has, a picture postcard of the Virgin Mary found in the dead girl's handbag.
"... a very good mystery, but an even better account of a society tearing itself apart." A E Pardoe in the Birmingham Post.
'A Murder of No Consequence' is the first book in the Paco Ruiz series. The second, 'The General's Dog', will be published in November.
