Or The Bull Kills You - Hardcover
Chief Inspector Max Camara hates bullfighting, but one hot afternoon in Valencia he has to replace his boss in judging a festival CORRIDA, starring Spain's most famous young matador. That night, he is back in the ring, and what he finds on the bloodstained sand shocks the city of Valencia to its core. As Camara hunts down his prey through the streets and bars, firecrackers echo around him in the build-up to the spring festival of FALLAS, and the town-hall election. The anti-bullfighting campaigners, and the breeders of prize beasts fight their corner. The bullring is a test of virility, but should it be a site of national pride or shame?

About the Author:
This book marks JASON WEBSTER's stylish move into fiction. He was born near San Francisco, brought up in England and Germany and after spells in Italy and Egypt, he moved to Spain, the subject of his widely acclaimed books. These include Duende: A Journey in Search of Flamenco; Andalus: Unlocking the Secrets of Moorish Spain; Guerra!: Living in the Shadows of the Spanish Civil War and most recently the mesmerising Sacred Sierra: A Year on a Spanish Mountain. He and his wife Salud divide their time between Valencia and their farm in the high mountains.
