Assumption: An Inspector Carlos Rico Novel

Alicante #3

by Jim Hamilton

A cruise ship is hijacked and a depositary vault robbed on the same fiesta weekend in Alicante. The motives appear to be a VIP passenger for the former and €30 million for the latter, but all is not as it seems. Two local criminal entities are involved, but to what extent? As the body count rises, Inspector Carlos Rico, assisted by Tasty McManus from Scotland Yard, are drawn into a criminal world littered with dark characters.

And the Scotland Yard detective comes to the rescue of the bumbling Spanish police. The English expat slant really comes out in this one.
