review 1: Antonio Hill looks like he's got the opening of a darn good new detective series started in "The Summer Of Dead Toys." It's got everything a compelling series should have: a vivid and interesting setting in the city of Barcelona (depicted here in stifling summer heat), an intere...

review 1: As far as crime thrillers go, this is easily among the better ones I've read. The setting of the story is traditional with two cases and the troubled main character being involved in one of them. That's also the weak point of this book, the solving of the smaller case is all too ...
