Darkness in Cordoba

Crime Mystery set in Spain. On Palm Sunday, the body of an eminent priest is discovered in the magnificent Cathedral of Córdoba. An elderly man is found squatting on the stone floor gazing intently at the corpse. All he would say is three words in Spanish. "Sólo hablo árabe. I only speak Arabic. The local police are convinced the Arab murdered the priest, but the bishop is adamant he is not guilty. In this fifth standalone book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, Detective Inspector Leon Prado with interpreters' ex-British soldier Phillip Armitage, and American videographer Amanda Salisbury are ordered to take over the investigation. Their appointment stirs bitter resentment among the Córdoba force, city officials, and religious brotherhoods who conspire to obstruct their inquiries. Prado and team discover the unexplained death masks a darker and more sinister secret, a secret that must be uncovered before it's too late.
