Death In The Afternoon
- Audio Book
£3.99
Read by Boyd Gaines. Death in the Afternoon is an impassioned look at bullfighting by one of its true aficionados.

Seen through his eyes, bullfighting becomes a richly choreographed ballet, with performers who range from awkward amateurs to masters of great elegance & cunning. Death in the Afternoon is also a deeper contemplation of the nature of cowardice & bravery, sport & tragedy, & is enlivened throughout by Hemingway's sharp commentary on life & literature. ...

Product Description

Market day in the ancient town of St Denis in south-west France. EU hygiene inspectors have been swooping on Frances markets, while the locals hide contraband cheese in their houses & call the Brussels bureaucrats Gestapo.

Police Captain Bruno Courreges supports their resistance. Although, here in what was once Vichy France, words like Gestapo & resistance still carry a profound resonance.

When an old man, head of an immigrant North African family, is found murdered, suspicion falls on the son of the local doctor, found in flagrante playing sex games surrounded by Nazi paraphernalia.
