"An Englishwoman living in France falls through a balcony railing (or was she pushed?). An Englishman whose rented car showed a Spanish registration visited her in France on the day she died. (He drove a white Escort, and how long would it take to trace it through all the rentals in Spain?) Days later, an Englishman living in Spain dies from a heroin overdose - although he wasn't an addict. A lazy detective in Spain feels quite put out when he's asked to solve this baffling international case." "Inspector Enrique Alvarez, the slow-moving but fast-witted Mallorcan detective, has delighted mystery readers with his complaints and solutions through sixteen cases. This time, fighting his never-ending appetite and his penchant for long afternoon siestas, as well as his cranky supervisor, Alvarez struggles to find a way to explain the connection between the deaths of two English citizens, one in France and one on his beloved island, that occurred too close together for one person to have killed the other."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
