Valencia's most famous police detective makes a long-awaited reappearance in this celebration of his life, his work, and the city he strives to protect. In a collection of articles, essays and an interview with Max himself, this first volume of Jason Webster's new series, Mosaics of Spain, takes us deep into Spanish crime - and one man's unorthodox ways of fighting it.
Including a profile of the head of the Valencia Police murder squad, a photo gallery, and thoughts on the psychology of detective fiction, The World of Max Cámara is a companion guide, an introduction and also a taster of future novels in the series to come.
Those who thought the chief inspector had worked his last case were wrong, and he's here to prove it. As the Spanish proverb says, Mala hierba nunca muere - You can't keep 'a bad man' down...
