3 and 1 / 2 stars
This book was originally written in 1976.
Inspector Enrique Alvarez from the Island of Mallorca is close to retirement and just wants to spend his last weeks at work taking it easy. A difficult murder investigation is not part of his plans. He is getting a lot of pressure from his boss and is not appreciating it.
When only a note is left behind, John Calvin has gone missing. Is he a victim? He was involved in questionable schemes. Assuming he is dead, where is his body? What is going on?
This is a well written and plotted novel, although somewhat dated by the location and time in which it is set. It is relatively suspenseful, but is rather slow paced.
I want to thank Netgalley and Endeavour Press for forwarding to me a copy of this book to read.
