Dark Heart : A Mediterranean Crime Mystery - Joan Fallon

A Mediterranean crime mystery in which a private detective on the southern Spanish coast is called in after a film star is killed during a glamorous festival. Sunlit noir with a sharp female investigator, a killer who plays games with the police, hidden motives and old scores. A Costa del Sol crime mystery where murder, revenge, and hidden motives collide beneath the glamour of the M�laga Film Festival. A famous actor is murdered during the M�laga Film Festival and the killer wants the police to follow the clues. When a well-known film star is murdered during the M�laga Film Festival, the Guardia Civil once more turn to Jacaranda Dunne and her team for help. Jacaranda-a female private detective known to everyone as JD-is still basking in the success of solving her first case for the Guardia Civil, but she can already see this crime is far from straightforward. The killer has left a trail of clues for the police to follow, but why? What is he trying to tell them? There seems to be no obvious motive for the murder of a popular actor who appeared to have no enemies, and whose naked body is discovered in the locked basement of the Picasso Museum. This tense mystery takes JD through the bloody world of terrorism and revenge as she follows a trail of dead ends, only to discover the perpetrator was far closer to home than she realised. Dark Heart is Book 2 in The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries series. Perfect for readers who love female-led crime fiction, twist-filled murder mysteries, Mediterranean noir, and authors like Robert Galbraith, Sue Grafton, and Robert Crais.
