Sometimes the bull gets killed by you, while other times the bull comes for you and takes you out. That may not be precisely the way that the proverb goes, but Max Camara does not really care. He’s busy enough with his job working as a chief inspector and hates the sport of bullfighting.

Even though he does not care for it, Max somehow gets roped into it anyway. He’s in Valencia and it is one hot afternoon when he is suddenly finding that he has been involved in judging a festival that happens to feature the most famous matador in Spain. The young matador is known far and wide and it is finally time for him to bring his skills to the rings of Valencia once more.

When he goes back into the ring, this young matador is entirely unprepared for what is about to happen. Death and injury are a risk that any matador accepts when they prepare to take on a bull, but even the audience in Valencia is shocked by what the matador ends up discovering there on the blood stained sand.

Things have taken a turn for the worse and it is up to one private investigator to get down to the bottom of it all. As Max hunts his target, making his way through bars and random streets, the festival of Fallas gets underway and people set off firecrackers to mark the festival and the election at town hall.

At the same time, there are people campaigning to put an end to bullfighting once and for all. When they get into a clash with the breeders who are responsible for raising the bulls, things are about to get violent. With life and death on the line, it seems that the people of Spain are getting stirred to passionate levels to match the passionate nature of the sport.

When it comes to bullfighting, this novel showcases the many different ways that people can feel about the contest. Some think it is a noble tradition that needs to be carried on, while others see it as a cruel practice that needs to be stopped. Some say it is a virility test, but is the ring going to end up a site of shame for Spain or its pride?

Max Camara is about to find out in a mystery that will have the reader on the edge of their seat. This detective usually gets to the truth in the end, but is this going to be one of those times? If he can solve this case, then he’ll definitely deserve some brandy afterwards. With authentic settings and an engaging story, check out this novel to see what happens in the end for yourself.

That’s the nature of the job, and someone that is tasked with solving the types of cases that he is has reason to enjoy a drink of brandy every once in a while.

Little does he know that yet another murder case is about to end up on his desk. Max could have no idea that a paella chef is dead, but that is unfortunately the case.
