The Tale of Senyor Rodriguez

Lou Gilmond`s stunning debut literary mystery novel. It`s 1960`s Mallorca and Thomas Sebastian is an English conman on the run. Hoping to evade his creditors, he`s taken an old Spanish finca as his hideout. He discovers the house untouched since the death of its last owner, the renowned and distinguished Senyor Rodriguez – with fine art on the walls, a library of books and cellar full of wine. Thomas slips easily into his new life – walking, reading and drinking; falling in love with his neighbour, the beautiful but impossibly young Isabella Ferretti. But when he puts on Rodriguez` white linen suit and heads into the city, things get a little out of hand… This literary mystery novel is a riotous tale of excess, desire and greed, set in a sultry Spanish island summer of 1964. Lou Gilmond`s prose at times crackles with wit and at others is stomach-heavy with sensuality. Through it all, Thomas is thrilling if feverish company.
