New Crime & Mystery Fiction Titles From Sceptre APRIL-JUNE 1998

Marc Blake Sunstroke Published June 1998 by Sceptre at £10.00 ISBN: 0 340 71771 8
A hilarious Tarantino-esque thriller set on the Costa del Crime.

Sarah, using her job in Fuengirola as a cover, is investigating her sister's death. Mike is drawn into her quest after witnessing the death (and being nearly drowned by the splash) of a hotel manager at the hands of a sinister Scotsman. Meanwhile, things are hotting up among the British ex-pat criminal community. All their paths will soon cross in a comic collision of death, double-crossing and wild dogs.

'Ideal holiday reading' The Times
'A work of rude and rumbustious vigour, the perfect companion for this summer's
holiday' Evening Standard
