Product Description

Review
Alex Nadal's life is in uproar. His father has committed suicide and then he discovers he's inherited a farm just outside Barcelona. His benefactor is an aunt who appears to have died twice: once at the end of the Spanish Civil War, according to his father, and then again a few months previously, according to her death certificate. Arriving in Spain to try and figure out what to do with his inheritance - he's a musician, after all, not a farmer - Alex finds that he's an unwanted pawn in a chess game that mixes high finance with low politics, murder and corruption. He also discovers that long memories breed bitter offspring and that the truth isn't a shield when rich men might fall because of it. Fast-paced and atmospheric - a strong debut.

Literary Review, July 1, 2002
A very stylish first novel, exciting, elegant and exceedingly sexy.'

5.0 out of 5 stars A page turner, 16 Sep 2002
By Scott Thornbury (Barcelona, Barcelona Spain) - See all my reviews
Not the sort of thing I read a lot of, but this one I couldn't put down. A combination of thriller and travelogue, it is now on the compulsory reading list for anyone who comes to visit me in Barcelona. I don't know a better - more readable - introduction to the city. And it's got good dialogue, a tight plot, and excellent characterisation. Plus some hot sex!
