Inspector Enrique Alvarez, is a police inspector in Mallorca, Spain
Troubled Deaths (Inspector Alvarez #03)
Geoffrey Freeman, Englishman, was possibly the richest and certainly the most unpopular man on Mallorca, and when he died from eating a poisonous fungus, there was only one person who was sorry—and several who were openly glad. Any one of them could have killed him, but to Inspector Alvarez, there was one obvious suspect. The case seemed simple enough.
The trouble was that as one door shut, another kept opening wide; each time Alvarez built up a case against one suspect, it was demolished by evidence pointing to someone else. Nothing was as it seemed. In particular, Geoffrey Freeman wasn’t, and in exploring the Englishman’s past, Alvarez was drawn into an intricate web of lust, deceit, and greed.
With an extraordinarily resourceful and engaging detective-hero and an ingenious, exciting plot, TROUBLED DEATHS marks the American debut of a superb mystery writer.
Murder Begets Murder (Inspector Alvarez #04)
The English community on Mallorca were sorry for William Heron. The reclusive, wealthy invalid had come to the island accompanied by his mistress, and now there were indications that while he lay dying, she was carrying on with another man. So no one mourned when it was discovered that instead of leaving the island, as she had planned to do, shortly after his funeral, she had died alone in the house from food poisoning.
Deadly Petard (Inspector Alvarez #07)
After some difficult times in England, Gertrude Dean has finally found a sunny haven on the island of Mallorca and put behind her that nasty business involving Keir West’s wife. Barbara West was very rich and ten years older than her philandering husband. She was also considerate: When she died with a plastic bag over her head, she left a suicide note. It was the cleaning woman who made trouble, accusing Keir West of murder.
The police were almost sure that the maid’s allegations were true, but they could not prove him guilty because Gertrude Dean, who had found him irresistible since childhood, gave him an alibi.
Harassed by both the police, who tried to make her confess she was a liar, and by West, who was desperate for her to keep lying, Gertrude made her way to Mallorca, where she found peace at last—until Inspector Alvarez was asked by the English police to question her, and West himself suddenly appeared, pleading with her to keep his secrets.
Three and One Make Five (Inspector Alvarez #08)
Inspector Enrique Alvarez, who is mourning the death of a close friend, is more than polite to Tracey Newcombe, an unconventional young New Zealand woman living on Mallorca, who has suffered a similar loss. The man she’d been living with was killed as his car went out of control on a steep bend. Despite his sister’s disapproval of the liaison, Alvarez soon finds that Tracey has captured his affections as well as his professional concern.
But even in love, Alvarez is still a policeman. He can’t stop wondering if there might be a connection between the death of Tracey ‘s lover and the mysterious death of another English resident, who drowned despite being a strong and skillful swimmer. When a third Englishman dies in an explosion aboard a motor yacht in Llueso Bay, he is convinced that the incidents are somehow linked. And where does the rebellious Tracey fit in?
Relatively Dangerous (Inspector Alvarez #11)
Easygoing, brandy-nipping Inspector Alvarez is roused once again from his quietly enjoyable life. A tourist car crashes in the mountains of the Spanish island of Mallorca, and Superior Chief Salas puts Alvarez in charge of the inquiries into the identity of the accident victims—hardly, it seems, a challenging case.
With much prodding, the unwilling Alvarez gets his investigation underway. His quick discovery of the dead man’s identity pleases Chief Salas and the case is considered closed—that is, to everyone but Alvarez, who continues to make inquiries of his own. On questioning the locals, Alvarez discovers that although many of them knew the accident victim, very few seem saddened by his death.
Alvarez’s rambling work methods and his reluctance to believe that poor driving caused the accident frustrate his superiors. But Alvarez is persistent, and the awkward questions he raises go to the heart of life on the seemingly idyllic island.
Death Trick (Inspector Alvarez #12)
When a corrupt Mallorquin solicitor, the highly unlovable and unscrupulous Pablo Roig, is found murdered on his private estate, the suspects are almost too numerous for deceptively lazy, brandy-sipping Inspector Alvarez to count. He’d rather be taking a siesta, or perhaps enjoying a good meal, but instead finds himself questioning suspects with motives all over the map—from love betrayed, to money stolen, to revenge exacted. Could the murderer possibly have been young Eulalia Garcia, the innocent whom Roig seduced and then abandoned, or her arrogant Basque cousin, who can think of nothing but the dishonor Roig brought upon their family? Or Roig’s long-suffering wife, homely Elena, who must know that Roig had cheated on her a thousand times. Perhaps it was Joe Braddon, a choleric Englishman with a quick temper and a blunt tongue, whom Roig tricked out of remuneration for a wrong, or Gerald Oakley, Roig’s business associate in a highly profitable development venture that Roig may have jeopardized with underhanded dealings. And then there is Julia, Roig’s housekeeper, whom he employed only to humiliate. . . .
But there are also drinks to be accepted, sun to be taken in, naps to be napped, and Alvaraz’ highly excitable superior, Salas, to be appeased; juggling these myriad responsibilities, while shrewdly homing in on the
Dead Clever (Inspector Alvarez #13)
As Inspector Alvarez sets off to help a visiting English insurance adjuster investigate the crash of a light aircraft off Mallorca, Superior Chief Salas leaves him with one last brief, but unambiguous, warning: on no account is Alvarez to do anything that might complicate a simple and straightforward case.
Alvarez likes the quiet life far too much ever deliberately to complicate anything, but the cases he investigates have a distressing tendency to become complicated by the facts. So it proves to be now.
The pilot of the aircraft, presumably killed in the crash at sea, had very recently applied to double the amount for which his life was insured; he was known to have been desperately short of money; his estranged wife had been suing him; he had had a girlfriend; it was possible he had owed money to a man who would use force to secure repayments . . . everything points to a false claim. But as Alvarez knows only too well, things do not always point in the right direction. Before long, he realizes that the case involves not merely one man’s greed but a web of mistaken identities and, ultimately, cold-blooded murder. . . .
Murder, Majorcan Style (Inspector Alvarez #35)
Inspector Alvarez is just considering whether he can surreptitiously leave work early when a colleague calls to tell him that an Englishman has been found dead in his car in his garage, the engine on and the tank empty. Alvarez, chafing over the prospect of an evening on the job, proceeds to the scene, but his hopes of a quick and easy case are dashed – for while the man was found in a car full of fumes, it appears the cause of death was not carbon-monoxide poisoning . . .
Murdered by Nature (Inspector Alvarez #36)
Optimism, as Inspector Alvarez knows, is the road to calamity . . . Inspector Alvarez is in a good mood, for once. The sun is shining, he has enjoyed a morning nap at his desk, and his irascible boss – Superior Chief Salas – is on holiday. But his new-found optimism soon leads to disaster. In no time at all, Alvarez is mired down by a seemingly impossible task – identifying a man drowned in the bay, who it quickly transpires may not have been drowned at all .
In Search of Murder (Inspector Alvarez #37)
Inspector Alvarez is rudely awakened from his afternoon siesta by a phone call reporting the death of one Senor Picare. On arrival at the Picare villa, it seems his grieving widow is passed out in bed and the housekeeper, Rosalía, is the one dealing with the police and comforting the young maid, Marta, who is devastated by the death of her employer.
It soon becomes clear that Senor Picare may have promised Marta – and other young women – more than he should have done and there could be a fair number of disgruntled husbands or fathers around who had a reason to want him gone.
Alvarez’s investigation, as always, is full of the vivid colour of Mallorcan life and passion, and despite Superior Chief Salas’ instructions, he doggedly follows his own – often unconventional – path until he finds out the truth . . .
