It has been over three years since ex-Police Detective, James Gordon and his family moved to the beautiful mountain village of Fornalutx in Mallorca, for a better way of life and to open a small boutique hotel. His arrival had been a baptism of fire, becoming caught up in a criminal feud which resulted in two attempts on his life. With that now all behind him, James' life in rural Mallorca is idyllic, until a chance encounter with a 'drugs mule' sets in motion a sequence of events that will have life-threatening consequences for James once more. Blood Oranges is the sequel to Bitter Lemons in a series which starts with Under a Mallorcan Sky by former Police Detective, Neil Doloughan.
