Overview

STORMY TIMES FOR THE COMISSÁRIO A storm is brewing over the Atlantic island and the body of a tourist washes up in Funchal harbour. Did the young man really just underestimate the raging sea? Comissário Avila doesn't have a good feeling about the matter, but he doesn't have time to be too bothered as a romantic weekend with his wife in Madeira's picturesque mountains is on the agenda. But it is not only the approaching storm that disturbs the idyll: the body of a young woman suddenly floats in the hotel pool. Cut off from the outside world, Comissário Avila tries to find the murderer, a race against time, because in the midst of the raging storm the murderer is already hunting his next victim and this time it concerns Avila personally ... Comissário Avila is back in his second case on the island of eternal spring. Perfect for fans of Richard Osman and Janice Hallett.

Author Information

Born in the Nibelungen city of Worms, Joyce Summer has been fascinated by stories and legends since childhood. What could be more natural than to devote herself entirely to writing at some point? After years of working as a manager in various banks and large corporations, she knows enough about politics and intrigue: so it was not difficult for Joyce to leave this life behind and go on a murder hunt with paper and pen. ""In my previous job, you had to be prepared for someone to stick a knife in your back. In that case, I'd rather live out my own murderous desires and fantasies in beautiful crime novels - and I can give my readers a treat as well.""
