Isabel Flores genießt ihren Cortado in der Bar Castell im malerischen Dorf Sant Martí, als der friedliche Sommertag jäh durch eine Schreckensnachricht verdunkelt wird: Ein kleines Mädchen ist verschwunden, am Strand entführt, und Polizeichef Tolo Cabot bittet seine ehemalige Kollegin Isabel um Hilfe. Als Ermittlerin war sie berühmt für ihren scharfen Verstand und ihre beinahe unheimliche Intuition, doch nun beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit.
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
"When 33-year-old Isabel Flores Montserrat quits a promising career with the Spanish police to run her mother's holiday rentals agency in rural Mallorca, it seems that her crime-fighting days are far behind. Basking in the Mediterranean sunshine with pet ferret, Furo, she indulges her passion for local cuisine, swimming in the sea and raising her pampered hens. However, when a young florist goes missing, Isabel is once again seconded by the National Police to help solve the mystery. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing in her own village with a sinister spate of animal disappearances. When another islander vanishes, Isabel and the local police chief, Tolo Cabot, must hunt a potential serial killer using their unorthodox investigative skills. With the clock ticking, they urgently need to find answers and restore harmony to the island once more."--Publisher
