| Publisher Description: Chief Inspector Miguel Rojas of the Spanish National Guard is legendary. That is partly because he is able to solve crimes that have baffled everyone else. It is also because of his strange lifestyle. Despite an uncanny insight into human passion and weakness he appears to have no human frailty himself and there is no record of his ever having had an intimate relationship with any human being, male or female, old or young. Yet occasionally there are signs, hints, that all may not be as it seems. This volume of the Rojas casebook contains three novels. -The Women from Crete is set in the beautiful Andalusian town of Ronda. - The Moves of Murder begins in Estoril, Portugal and then Malaga and Barcelona. - The Reading of the Runes takes Rojas from Barcelona where he is based down to the warm, sunny Atlantic coast at Altea. Rojas deals with a an ancient love story that threatens death from a mediaeval society, then with a powerful French politician whose weakness for molesting females goes along with plotting to gain the French presidency. In this he is helped by Ukrainian expats in Catalonia, determined to take control. Then Rojas finds apparently unconnected murders in Sweden and Spain linked by the visions of an ancient Icelandic prophecy and the venom of a scorned woman. Can you follow the trail of clues with the great detective? |
