Mayhem in Madrid

Globe-trotting married sleuths Jane and Redvers have no sooner discovered that he has a niece than they learn she’s in danger and hurry off to Spain . . .

Madrid, 1927: Responding to the news that his brother has an illegitimate daughter who’s fallen into trouble, Redvers and Jane arrive in the city only to learn that the girl’s mother, Rosanna, has been murdered and Margret has run off. The duo tracks her down, but streetwise and skittish, Marget is wary, although she gradually trusts them enough to reveal her mother was a forger, trafficking in stolen art—most recently sketches by an artist living in Madrid named Salvador Dalí.

Championed by Miró and Picasso, Dalí’s star is on the rise. Jane and Redvers find him at a local theater designing the sets for a new play by his friend, Federico García Lorca. Dalí seems untroubled, even amused at the theft. But after a second murder, it’s clear the thieves mean business and Margret is in grave danger. Jane and Redvers race to find her mother’s killer to not only save the girl, but also to save her from a life of crime . . .
