We find out at Paco, the man who died in his cave, had a history. He didn't get on with some members of his extended family. Why? And by degrees the story unfolds. Shady property dealings, dodgy accounting and much more rear their ugly heads. Bulldozers, residential blocks, derelict farmhouses all feature in the mix. It seems as if it's one big tussle between past and present. As one local succinctly put it ''Enjoy it while you can. In ten years, every square inch of this coast will be covered in concrete.''
However, Romero is a methodical and dedicated operator. (He even makes out lists so that he won't forget a single thing). He becomes involved with various interesting characters, both male and female. And one female in particular catches his eye ...
This novel is a good, solid story with interesting characters set in a beautiful part of Spain. Recommended.
If you enjoy ''A Darker Night'', you'll also love [[Bloodprint by Kitty Sewell]].
