Death in the sun - Adam Creed

In Almagen, a small village in the Andalucian mountains, Staffe nurses
himself back from the brink of death. One day his
friend, Manolo, takes Staffe to visit Almeria and tells him about a body
that has been found buried in an old greenhouse by the Mediterranean.

Staffe
becomes inexorably drawn to the case and befriends a journalist, Raul,
who presents the killing as a simple case of drug-trafficking gone
wrong, but it soon emerges that this murder
mirrors the methods of
torture used during Spain's brutal civil war. When Raul plunges
to his death in a drunken car crash, Almagen's own secret past slowly
rises to the surface...
