Product Details
Overview
A sun-soaked Mediterranean private investigator mystery in which a paramotoring death off the Málaga harbour looks like an accident and smells like murder. Aristocratic families, contested inheritance and a female PI asking questions nobody wants answered.
A sun-soaked Málaga mystery of family fortunes, suspicious deaths, and a detective drawn into aristocratic secrets.
A wealthy heir falls into the sea during a paramotoring accident, but JD’s mother is convinced it was murder.
In Too Close to the Sun, the fourth crime novel in The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries, it’s JD’s mother, Rosa, who insists that JD investigates the tragic death of a young man who falls into the sea while paramotoring close to the harbour.
As shocked sunbathers watch the paramotor stall and the pilot desperately struggle to regain height, a sudden gust of wind sweeps him across the harbour wall and out of sight.
The coast guards quickly reach the scene, but at first there’s no sign of the man or his machine. When police divers finally recover the body, the death is ruled an unfortunate accident. Rosa isn’t convinced.
The dead man is the son and heir of the Duke of Roble, an old family friend of Rosa’s. With the Duke seriously ill, the young man stood to inherit both the title and a considerable fortune. Now everything passes to his sister.
JD must first determine whether the man’s death was an accident or murder. The deeper she digs, the more suspects she finds—and plenty of people had reason to want him dead.
Too Close to the Sun is Book 4 in The Jacaranda Dunne Mysteries series. Perfect for readers who love Mediterranean crime fiction, wealthy family intrigue, female private investigators, and mysteries by Robert Crais, Sara Paretsky, and Sue Grafton.
