Malaga Mysteries is a feast of thirty-two thought-provoking short stories set on the Costa del Sol, written by ex-pat author John Hardy, who has lived in the region for 20 years. Packed with tales of murder, extortion, robbery, obsession and people trafficking, all have a twist in the tail. They are also all written with a light touch and a dash of humour. “The stories themselves are all fictional, but many of the events are based on actual incidents, some of which happened to or were witnessed by myself,” says author John. The anthology gives a real flavour of Spain – from the beaches of the Costa del Sol to the mountainous hinterland. The day-to-day life, the celebrations and the interplay between the locals, ex-pats and hordes of holidaymakers who together inhabit the region blend together in this highly enjoyable fiesta of a book. This collection brings together all of John Hardy’s earlier short stories, originally published as separate anthologies, into one must-have volume, as well as encorporating two new stories.
