Bøker av Anna Nicholas

In her fourth exhilarating adventure, unorthodox and charismatic sleuth, Isabel Flores, investigates whether the grisly balcony fall of a famous local opera singer is a tragic suicide or, as she suspects, a case of murder. Meanwhile, in her own mountain village of Sant Marti, elderly homeowners are dying in mysterious circumstances while a newly arrived estate agent is receiving anonymous death threats. With sinister forces at play and the clock ticking, Isabel, and pet ferret, Furo, once again join Chief of police, Tolo Cabot, in setting out to uncover the truth before more lives are lost.

Anna delves into the island''s authentic heartland, exploring nature reserves, bird sanctuaries and paprika, fruit and almond farms. On her travels, she meets the makers of siurell whistles, palm leaf baskets, hot sauces and ensaimada pastries, and revels in visiting local producers of wine, craft beer, gin and brandy - and Mallorca''s famed herbes liqueur. Meanwhile, she and chum, Alison, are tackling all 54 Tramuntana peaks over 1,000m, enduring the arduous overnight Guell hike to Lluc Monastery along the way.
