Travel Guide
Malaga, on the Costa del Sol is not called the Costa del Crime for nothing here – there is a strong presence here of criminal activity and dubious goings on. The villa at the centre of the surveillance operations is just along the coast in Marbella. Trouble and worry in paradise. The villa is in dire need of repair and that seems typical with the amount of building work going on around the area at the time. There are a few building scandals too which is creating problems for building companies, customers and the government. Organised crime in its many guises seems to roam free along these shores.
The expats who live in the heart of the Costa del Crime and their disillusionment with the Spanish dream is at the heart of the novel. The side to their paradise is changing and not for the best. The influx of Eastern Europeans and criminals also seem to want a piece of the Malaga pie..
