Leila is a young Moslem woman from Scotland doing research on the
Spanish Civil War in Spain. When her body is discovered the local
police look to blame her sometimes boyfriend, a Moslem lad, who is
working at the local Moslem retreat for up and coming Moslem
businessmen.
Sub-Inspector Max Romero from Granada is inclined to
disagree, feeling that the lad is not someone the police should be
investigating. Meantime he is also involved in working with the Spanish
anti-terrorist group. Feelings are running high against the Moslem
community because of the war in Iraq. As the investigation is
progressing, the local police brutally beat the prime suspect in hopes
of gaining a confession.
The head of the ant-terrorist group
orders a raid on the retreat. In the ensuing raid one of the young men
is shot and later dies. Hoping to keep bad news at bay, pornography is
planted on a computer at the camp by the police.
Shortly
afterwards the prime suspect in Leila's murder commits suicide. The
local police are convinced that his suicide is evidence of his guilt.
Romero is not convinced. Will further investigations prove him right
despite being told not to by his superiors?
A good mystery by author P. J. Brooke, however, I was disappointed with the editing.
