Darkness in Ronda: Andalusian Mystery Series, cartea 2
Autor Paul S. Bradley Editat de Gary Smailesen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 apr 2020
Ronda is the birthplace of modern-day bullfighting and home to one of Spain's oldest bullrings. Magnificent beasts are brutally slaughtered there under the searing heat of the afternoon sun, as they have been for centuries. Inevitably, the popularity of this national tradition is dying. The future looks bleak for those that earn their living from it.
Yet there is hope.
In this second book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, Diego Romero, a heroic torero, recognizes the need for change. The killing must stop. All he has to do is persuade bullfighting's controlling body, to accept his reforming proposals. They listen but refuse to do anything.
Less savory foreigners are also concerned that regular contests should continue as normal. They too cannot afford for Diego to win the day and are not prepared to sit by and do nothing. The battle comes to a head at La Goyesca, Ronda's stylish bullfighting festival right under the noses of Detective Inspector Leon Prado and his translators Amanda Salisbury and Phillip Armitage.

Notă biografică
Paul S Bradley blames his Andalusian Mystery Series on ironed squid. Otherwise, he'd still be stuck in London failing at this, that, and the other. As discerning diners know, calamares a la plancha should translate as grilled squid. Then he noticed bad translations everywhere. He quit the rat race, moved to Nerja, Spain and helped the owner of this gastronomic gaff prepare his menu so that foreigners understood he was offering food, not laundry services. During the following thirty years, this tiny translation evolved into a lifestyle magazine for the Costa del Sol, along with guidebooks and travelogues in English, German and Spanish. He's lectured about Living in Spain and bullfighting but is keen to emphasize that he never dressed in a tight, fancy suit or waved a pink cape at anyone; especially if they weighed 600 kilos and carried a sharp pair of horns. He has also appeared on local radio and TV, but extremely briefly. More recently, educated groups of posh American and Canadian Alumni have enjoyed his tour director services apart from the terrible jokes and occasional temporarily misplaced client. Paul's books blend his unique taste of Spain with intriguing fictional mysteries. Learn more at paulbradley.eu where lovers of Spain can sign up for free short stories, blogs, and videos.
