Darkness in Granada (Andalusian Mystery, #4)

Andalucía, Spain. An enchanting setting for a crime mystery series.

All roads lead to Granada, the priceless jewel of Andalucia. Nestling under the snow-capped peaks of the Sierra Nevada and dominating this historic city, is the Alhambra Palace, one of the wonders of the world. When Anne Pennington, the mistress of a US Senator was exiled from Washington DC, she chose this beautiful place as her new home. He was paying, so she didn't stint. Her favorite pastime was collecting paintings, particularly those by Pablo Picasso. Her house was just below the palace and included its own art gallery for her to relish her treasures. After her lover passed, she married, and decided to show her collection of the famous painter's muses to the world.
Unbeknown to her, one of these artworks was top of the bucket list of an evil criminal who had been leading DI Prado, with translators Amanda and Phillip, a merry dance all over Andalucía. The now elderly man was also the link to the criminals held behind bars from his cases in Málaga, Ronda, and Vélez-Málaga. They had desperately needed to find him and exact their revenge before he died.
In this fourth book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, Prado sets out to entrap him.
Anne's paintings would be the bait.

Paul S Bradley blames his Andalusian Mystery Series on ironed squid. Otherwise, he'd still be stuck in London failing at this, that, and the other. As discerning diners know, calamares a la plancha should translate as grilled squid. Then he noticed bad translations everywhere. He quit the rat race, moved to Nerja, Spain and helped the owner of this gastronomic gaff prepare his menu so that foreigners understood he was offering food, not laundry services.
During the following thirty years, this tiny translation evolved into a lifestyle magazine for the Costa del Sol, along with guidebooks and travelogues in English, German and Spanish. He's lectured about Living in Spain and bullfighting but is keen to emphasize that he never dressed in a fancy suit or waved a pink cape at anyone; especially if they weighed 600 kilos and carried a sharp pair of horns. He has also appeared on local radio and TV but extremely briefly.
More recently, educated groups of posh American and Canadian Alumni have enjoyed his tour director services apart from the terrible jokes and occasional temporarily misplaced client.
Paul's books blend his unique taste of Spain with intriguing fictional mysteries. Read more at paulbradley.eu where lovers of Spain can sign up for free short stories, blogs and videos.
