James Gordon is a former police detective who moves, with his young family, to the idyllic mountain village of Fornalutx in Mallorca for a better way of life. Shortly after meeting a new arrival to the village, he discovers the murdered body of his new misfit acquaintance. This starts a sequence of events which makes James and his family the targets of South London's underworld. Gritty, fast-paced and interspersed with a sprinkling of what makes 'The Valley of the Oranges' such a special place, 'Under a Mallorcan Sky' is the debut novel of former police detective Neil Doloughan
