In Search of Andalucia
Approaching the Province of Malaga in Southern Spain from the unusual aspects of its complex historical and geographical factors combined, taken town by town, this book avoids the temptation to over romanticise the area.'
Al-Andalus
From 711 when they arrived on the Iberian Peninsula until 1492 when scholars contribute a wide-ranging series of essays and catalogue entries which are fully companion to the 373 illustrations (324 in color) of the spectacular art and architecture of the nearly vanished culture. 91/2x121/2 they were expelled by Ferdinand and Isabella, the Muslims were a powerful force in al-Andalus, as they called the Iberian lands they controlled. This awe-inspiring volume, which accompanies a major exhibition presented at the Alhambra in Granada and The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is devoted to the little-known artistic legacy of Islamic Spain, revealing the value of these arts as part of an autonomous culture and also as a presence with deep significance for both Europe and the Islamic world.

Darkness in Malaga
Crime Thriller set in Spain In this first book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, four teenagers are brutally interfered with by the headmaster of their Marbella college. They can’t tell anyone, because the abuser threatens to reveal their own dark family secrets. When the grounds are sold, the head steals the proceeds and disappears. They pledge to track him down and deliver justice. Their justice. For thirty years, their target eludes them but then one of the now adult four inadvertently nearly catches him. Knowing he is still alive reinvigorates their thirst for retribution, at any price. When pretty youngsters start vanishing, the wily veteran Detective Inspector, Leon Prado, initially assumes that the booming sex-tourism industry on the Costa del Sol needs more tasty morsels for their private clubs. The truth was far worse than a nightmare.
In Hiding
In Hiding is the spellbinding story of a man who spent thirty years holed up in his own home to escape execution. Manuel Cortés was a Socialist Party member, an activist in the Republic’s land reform movement, and an organizer in the farm workers’ unionization struggles. As Mayor of Mijas in Andalusia, he became caught up in the ferment of revolutionary Spain in the late 1930s. A marked man, he evaded Franco’s execution squads to survive in hiding through a generation of persecution and terror until amnesty was decreed in 1969—a period of thirty years. With his wife and daughter, he attempted to escape to France, but failed. In this absorbing narrative, based on numerous interviews with the mayor conducted by Ronald Fraser, a master of oral history, Cortés’s truly awe-inspiring ordeal is supplemented by his family’s life histories and experiences during the Civil War. A haunting tale and a monument to the art of the oral historian, In Hiding reminds us what the Spanish Civil War was really about.
