In the third book of the Andalusian Mystery Series, DI Leon Prado
with translators, American videographer Amanda Salisbury, and
ex-British soldier Phillip Armitage, continue their hunt for an
elusive criminal mastermind and investigate an intriguing new case
in the world of Flamenco. Salome Mendosa was adopted as a baby and
knows nothing of her roots. Her idyllic life as one of Spain's top
Flamenco dancers is turned upside down when she is invited to a
lawyer's office in the ancient town of Velez-Malaga to receive
information concerning her birth family. Desperate but nervous to
learn of her heritage, she begs Amanda Salisbury, her former
college roommate, to accompany her. Salome's ancestors were not as
angelic as she'd wished for. A poisonous legend concerning her late
grandfather leads them on a dangerous journey back to the horrors
of the Spanish Civil War, pits them against the local gypsy
community, and seriously strains their relationship.
A revealing exploration of the origins and development of People's
Songs, Inc., "My Song Is My Weapon won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor
Award. Robbie Lieberman brings to life the hootenannies, concerts,
and rallies of the time, paying special attention to the politics
of culture of the Old Left. Her analysis of the communist movement
culture, coupled with interviews with former members of People's
Songs, sheds new light on Cold War America, the American Communist
movement, and the experience of left-wing cultural workers.
