Synopsis
In the bath one morning Daniel Ward works out how to take £1 million from the local banks without the use of violence.
He has always been addicted to puzzles. But, with the money in his hold-all, he thinks it best to leave the country before anybody discovers how he did it. By that evening he is looking for a villa in the hills behind Marbella, on Spain’s so-called Costa del Crime.
Daniel’s brother, Matthew, is a successful businessman, but after an unfortunate incident with a girlfriend he is reported to the Inland Revenue by his furious wife. With his bank accounts frozen and warrants out for his arrest, Matthew gets hold of what money he can, stitches it into a pillow and leaves the country with his girl and a false passport. Soon he is in southern Spain, too. There, Matthew and Daniel run into their third brother, Mark, a penniless pianist now singing for his supper in the tourist bars.
A summer in the sun. But for the fugitive on the Costa del Sol, life isn’t all sunbeds and sangria. Homesick Daniel sits on the marble patio of his luxurious home and Matthew has his own problems, including a pregnant girlfriend. But for pianist Mark, things are starting to look up…
’This book was written when I was the age of the youngest of the three brothers and I am surprised by just how much the world has changed, but not the people in it. It's a good read, and shows that happiness is a state of mind and not about how much you have in your bank. Although I'm sure having a decent amount would be very nice’ - Goodreads review
‘This is a funny book. Well-written with plenty of funny lines. But it also has a proper plot, which takes your interest and keeps you reading’ - Amazon review
