Yes, it's one in the Mike Garfin series. I know of two other
titles of his, HOT FREEZE and EXIT IN GREEN (aka MURDER COMES
CALLING), but since I don't have them I can't tellif they are
Garfin novels or not.
Steve McHale mentioned a Malcolm Douglas book called MARKET
FOR MURDER which is set in Spain. This sounds supsiciously
similar to the one Douglas book I've read; the very good PREY
BY NIGHT, which has a plot about smuggling between Tangier
and southern Spain.
