The Blind Man of Seville – Javier Falcon #1
What you need to know before your trail
A man is found bound, gagged and dead in front of his television, with terrible self inflicted wounds. But WHY? Javier tries to find the answers but in the meantime comes across something he would rather not know. He appears to have killed himself getting away from some terrible unforeseen horror. Just what could have brought him to commit such injuries to himself?
The victim’s dying eyes seem to draw Inspector Javier Falcón into a web of mystery and intrigue as he battles to find out the horrific and disturbing truth. Javier ends up trawling though his own past and into the diaries and journals of his late father who was a famous artist, and the whole awful truth comes to light.
Travel Guide
Easter week in Seville, is a time of festivals and celebrating. Semana Santa is highly religious and symbolic so the overall mood is one of happiness, celebration, religious ceremonies, worship and giving thanks. The contrast of this side of Seville and a horrific murder make for an alarming tapestry of violence and a warped maze of history and secrets.
The setting is a mix of both history of the war and of the artistic leanings of Javier’s father who was a famous artist and whose past shows up more disturbing views of Spain and Seville in particular.
This is the Seville with war in its past, violence in its present and everything in between. Postwar Tangiers, bullfighting and the heat of Seville in every sense of the word burns this city and its internal goings on into your heart.
