Reviews of Truth Lies Buried.
This novel hits the ground digging, right in the middle of the action, then maintains a fast, twisty trajectory throughout its generous length. A tough female protagonist, credibly motivated with a military background that rings true, becomes the guardian of a dead gangster’s son, a child old before his time. They soon face vile, ruthless opposition in a struggle for survival. As with Elmore Leonard, the ever-changing plot is foremost, with satisfying interesting characters. The unlovely changing face of English crime, wide open to utterly unscrupulous migrants, is well drawn. If you’ve always viewed nouveau riche Essex villains with some distaste this will confirm your suspicions while allowing you a vicarious wallow in the lives of the rich and tasteless, just as one can enjoy the Sopranos at a safe distance. This fast ride will keep you guessing all the way to the end. Mark Ramsden – Author of DREAD: The Art of Serial Killing.
The plot of Truth Lies Buried twists and turns as tightly as a corkscrew. A gripping gangster novel with a fantastic protagonist. Like a cross between Cassavete’s ‘Gloria’ and ‘The Long Good Friday’. Paul D Brazill – Author of Guns of Brixton.
A very British noir; dirty deeds and dirty minds described in some very clean, crisp, spare prose. ‘Truth Lies Buried’ is sharp, sexy, and very smart. Its female characters are strong and seductive, its plot satisfyingly complex. Geoff Nicholson – Author of Bleedins London.

The Casa De Cultura in Calpe will be screening films in original version, and more....
The company Capricho Audiovisual has recently began working with the Casa De Cultura in Calpe, bringing improvements in quality and sound, an increase in the number of films, and alongside the traditional programme, films in “original version”, subtitled in Spanish, which will
allow English residents to enjoy the service. Another new service will be the live screening of opera and ballet from the Royal Opera House. This is a new initiative coming to various Spanish cinemas which will allow thousands to enjoy the Royal Opera House shows in high quality, live and unedited. Open air cinema will also be available. Booking can be done online at
www.ticketea.com. “Cinema A La Mar” has been running for 20 years now, screening films on the La Fossa beach, and this year screening will also take place on the Arenal-Bol beach, so that both beaches allow totally free cinema experiences. The same film will be available on alternate days on each beach.
