Lying Crying Dying now available in the United States! Lying Crying Dying was hailed by British suspense master Lionel Davidson as "the Thriller Nouveau-- of deceit, betrayal, tears…one of the very best of the late nineties." The novel introduces Pascual Rose, a repentant ex-terrorist trying to make sense of his life after defecting and selling out his former comrades in the European terrorist underground of the 1980's. Pascual is lying low in Barcelona when a nova explodes in his cosmos-- Katixa reappears. She is the only one he never gave up, the one woman he ever loved. Katixa wants out now too, and she is on the run with a suitcase full of cash hijacked from an ETA kidnapping to start a new life somewhere far away-- with Pascual. But nothing is what it seems, and when Pascual realizes that Katixa is lying to him, can the crying and the dying be far behind? |

The Republic of Night The Republic of Night finds Pascual still haunted by his past, as French intelligence agents locate him and make him an offer he can't refuse, to come to Paris and put the finger on an old comrade, a long-disappeared Syrian terrorist who seems to have surfaced as a fixer for a shady Russian consortium. Pascual would just as soon not know what business the consortium has with a hatchet-face Algerian general who may be staging Islamist massacres in Paris to cover his tracks, but an exiled Algerian journalist wants him to help her find out, and Pascual has always had trouble saying no to a pair of lovely dark eyes. This time, however, it could cost him dearly. |

Gitana Pascual is keeping his head down, tending bar in a hole-in-the-wall tavern in Barcelona's Old City and consorting with Gypsies and other outsiders. One of them, an enigmatic flamenco cantaora named Sara, has seriously weakened his resolve to avoid sentimental adventures. He is just beginning to think he has outrun his past when an American journalist turns up dead with Pascual's name in his pocket. The police want to know why, and when a second killing strikes at the heart of his sheltering community, Pascual knows he cannot hide his head in the sand. He will need all his old survival skills as well as a little help from his Gypsy friends to unravel an old but still potent scandal before it destroys him and everyone he loves. |
