'A gripping high-octane masterpiece' – Andrew Child

To make the perfect Spanish whodunnit cocktail, take one dead gangster, mix in six shifty expats, add one ruthless baddie and garnish with a suspicious police officer . . .

Daniella Coulstoun has recently moved to the Costa Blanca. When the dead body of a prominent London gangster is discovered in the cellar of her bar she quickly becomes the number one suspect.

With the police closing in, the local expats turning on her and a psychotic rival to the dead gangster in the background, Daniella knows she needs to nail the real killer, and fast.

'Morgan Cry has come up with the perfect summer novel… strikes the perfect balance between seriousness and light-heartedness, and there are some moments of real genius thrown in the narrative'
