Murderous Talk
(2022)(The fourth book in the Inspector Velazquez Mystery series)
A novel by Nick Sweet
‘Velázquez proves to be an intriguing and idiosyncratic protagonist.’ Barry Forshaw, Crime Time
After Cayo Chapin, a panelist on a popular television talk show, is brutally murdered, Inspector Jefe Velázquez is called in to investigate.
The fact that the policeman's famous bullfighter wife, Ana, has become a subject of gossip on the talk show in question, after leaving Velázquez, hardly helps the Inspector’s cause.
What’s more, Velázquez soon falls under suspicion for Chapin’s murder at first, and the onus is on him to clear his name.
The investigation unfolds. Velázquez uncovers affairs, rivalries and sexual jealousy
Suspects are identified, creating more problems than solutions.
Not everyone can be telling the truth. But which one of the liars could also be a killer?
Nick Sweet lives in Spain where he writes and teaches. He is also the author of Murder in Seville, Bloody Summer and The Butcher of Seville.
