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.
