Synopsis

Glasgow, 1898. A man is found stabbed to death in a tenement block. Juan Camerón, photographer-cum-sleuth, is drafted in in the hope he can bring to light what the eye may overlook. Yet Juan has problems of his own. Following the tragic death of his father in Cuba some months before, the man’s legacy is threatened by a plagiarism suit from a mysterious señora, and Juan’s hoped-for happiness with his fiancée, Jane, might be over before it’s even begun – even more so when a visiting professor is murdered and Jane is witnessed fleeing the scene. Juan finds himself torn between finding the killer and finding his fiancée – but are they one and the same? The truth is in the frames…

I was into chapter two before I realised "The Art of the Assassin" was Kevin Sullivan's second novel about Juan Camarón, the Spanish-born photographer. But thanks to some timely and brief background scenes, I was soon up to speed and ready to carry on. "The Art of the Assassin" picks up not long afte......more

I felt that the prequel was referred to more than it nee......more
