A Murder of No Consequence (#1) What could be deadlier than war?
On the eve of the Spanish Civil War murder on the streets of Madrid has become so commonplace that it passes largely unnoticed.
For Inspector Paco Ruiz the death of a young woman in Retiro Park has a significance that even he does not fully understand. Battling against official hostility, and attempts on his own life, Ruiz finds himself being pulled deeper and deeper into a dark web of lies and treachery.
As well as providing a thrilling and intriguing mystery, A Murder of No Consequence paints a vivid picture of a society – and a way of life – on the verge of collapse.
The General’s Dog (#2) The mountains above Madrid, July 1936.
Inspector Paco Ruiz stands before a Nationalist firing squad thinking his last moment has come. But just before the order to shoot, he is reprieved by the machiavellian Major Gomez. Gomez explains that someone has shot the general’s dog, and it will take an experienced detective to get to the bottom of it.
Paco is outraged. When human life is worth so little, he refuses to dignify the death of an animal with an investigation. But Gomez holds something which Paco values more than his own life, and the detective realizes he has no choice but to co-operate.
Despite himself, the case begins to intrigue Paco, but even he cannot guess that two people will be murdered before he discovers the real reason the dog had to die…
The Fifth Column (#3) The murder of an American member of the International Brigade training in a village deep in the heart of Republican Spain has implications which soon stretch far beyond a single death.
As mutual suspicions spread amongst the various groups which make up the brigade, it seems as if the unit – which is desperately needed for the defence of Madrid – is about to disintegrate. And so it is that Paco Ruiz is once more called upon to revert to his pre-war role as homicide detective.
Why do some of the peasants seem glad the brigadista who came to defend them is dead? Why does the Lincoln’s commander insist that the murderer must have come from outside the village, when it is obvious to Paco that he did not? And how great is the danger that before the case is over Paco will lose Cindy Walker – the woman he loves – to her old college professor?
As the clock relentlessly ticks away, Paco struggles with one of the most complex cases of his career, never realising that he too, has been marked for death.
