Synopsis

When her father and stepmother, Antonia, are killed in a road accident, part of Suzanne Cole's legacy is a mystery which has its roots in the aftermath of the bloody Spanish Civil War over twenty years ago. Antonia, she learned, had been married briefly to Carlos, the heir to the de Merito title and the magnificent castle El Regalo del Rey. But then Carlos, the idealistic revolutionary, disappeared and Antonia, wanting the best for their small son, left the child with the de Merito family and returned to England, assuming her husband had been killed. When Suzanne first arrives in Toledo, the chances of solving the mystery of Antonia's past seem remote, but as suspicions and dangers close in on her, she realizes that not only does the austere Count de Merito have something to hide, but that someone is prepared to go to any lengths to prevent her from finding Antonia's son. EVERY MAN A KING is a compelling romantic thriller, set against the backdrop of the rugged Sierra Nevadas in the last years of the Franco regime.
