Stranded in Andalusia

Save natural or manmade disasters, being stranded away from home is usually thought of as a mere inconvenience, big or small, that will somehow work itself out sooner or later. Not this time though, as a British salesman/cum tourist fails to make a hotel reservation and in trying to solve his problem before nightfall, finds himself pitted against a brainy police lieutenant, who is desperately trying to save his town from having its traditional Easter celebrations vilified by the evil doings of a criminal gang.The story unfolds in the picturesque Andalusia region of Southern Spain in the early post-Franco era and is partly based on a real-life experience of the author, with at least one character being a genuine part of it.The fast-moving plot in a captivating innovative writing style transcends every possible genre, from humorous adventure to sombre dystopian and suspenseful thriller with even a touch of erotica, all rolled into mystical fantasy, dispersed only by a totally unexpected ending that gives a new twist to the beginning.
