Andalucía, Spain. An enchanting setting for a crime mystery series.
Ronda is the birthplace of modern-day bullfighting and home to one of Spain's oldest bullrings. Magnificent beasts are brutally slaughtered there under the searing heat of the afternoon sun, as they have been for centuries. Inevitably, the popularity of this national tradition is dying. The future looks bleak for those that earn their living from it.
Yet there is hope.
In this second book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, Diego Romero, a heroic torero, recognizes the need for change. The killing must stop. All he has to do is persuade bullfighting's controlling body, to accept his reforming proposals. They listen but refuse to do anything.
Less savory foreigners are also concerned that regular contests should continue as normal. They too cannot afford for Diego to win the day and are not prepared to sit by and do nothing. The battle comes to a head at La Goyesca, Ronda's stylish bullfighting festival right under the noses of Detective Inspector Leon Prado and his translators Amanda Salisbury and Phillip Armitage.
