Description
Sent on leave after his last, brutal, case, Max Cámara returns to his home town in La Mancha, famous for producing the finest saffron in the world.
There, the past keeps pulling at him. The town is exhuming a mass grave from the Civil War, but why is his grandfather behaving so strangely? His old friend Yago is investigating a particularly nasty murder which sets off memories Max has been trying to bury for years. And then there are Yago’s whisperings about a saffron mafia...
Max finds himself plunged into the thick of a complex and intensely personal case that will put him in severe danger and have him questioning his past – and his future in the police.

Advance Praise
‘nifty plotting, great descriptions and the most enchanting new detective I've come across in a good while’ Guardian
‘One of the most attractive figures to enter recent detective fiction... Like the best detective stories, this book becomes a scrutiny of our most powerful drives and secrets’ Independent
‘Does for Spain what Michael Dibdin did to wonderful effect in his 'Zen' novels for Italy’Crime Squad
Praise for A Death in Valencia
‘Jason Webster has made Valencia his own... This is Chief Inspector Max Cámara’s second outing, and his colourful personality is every bit a match for the vibrant but often trouble home of paella he has to keep safe’ Daily Mirror
‘Cámara is the opposite of the conventional ‘foodie’ detective from Mediterranean fiction... [Cámara’s] perceptions of what is wrong with Spanish society form an original background to a complex thriller’ Independent
Marketing Plan
