In Search of Murder
Inspector Alvarez is rudely awakened from his afternoon siesta by a phone call reporting the death of one Senor Picare. On arrival at the Picare villa, it seems his grieving widow is passed out in bed and the housekeeper, Rosalía, is the one dealing with the police and comforting the young maid, Marta, who is devastated by the death of her employer. It soon becomes clear that Senor Picare may have promised Marta – and other young women – more than he should have done and there could be a fair number of disgruntled husbands or fathers around who had a reason to want him gone. Alvarez’s investigation, as always, is full of the vivid colour of Mallorcan life and passion, and despite Superior Chief Salas’ instructions, he doggedly follows his own – often unconventional – path until he finds out the truth . . .
Murdered by Nature
Optimism, as Inspector Alvarez knows, is the road to calamity . . . - Inspector Alvarez is in a good mood, for once. The sun is shining, he has enjoyed a morning nap at his desk, and his irascible boss – Superior Chief Salas – is on holiday. But his new-found optimism soon leads to disaster. In no time at all, Alvarez is mired down by a seemingly impossible task – identifying a man drowned in the bay, who it quickly transpires may not have been drowned at all .
Murder, Majorcan Style
An Inspector Alvarez Mystery - Inspector Alvarez is just considering whether he can surreptitiously leave work early when a colleague calls to tell him that an Englishman has been found dead in his car in his garage, the engine on and the tank empty. Alvarez, chafing over the prospect of an evening on the job, proceeds to the scene, but his hopes of a quick and easy case are dashed - for while the man was found in a car full of fumes, it appears the cause of death was not carbon-monoxide poisoning . . .
Question of Motive
When there is nothing to choose between accident, suicide, or murder, motive is the only clue . . . A rich Englishman is found dead at the foot of a steep wall of rock in Mallorca. Was it an accident, suicide or murder? Inspector Alvarez thinks only motive will provide the answer. But he quickly discovers the dead man can be linked to just about every other English person on the island - including Mary, the dead man's niece and heir to his fortune, to whom Alvarez is becoming uncomfortably close . . .
