Praise for the Petra Delicado series

"Alicia Gim'nez-Bartlett won the Femenino Lumen prize as best female writer in Spain, and Dog Day, the first book in her ongoing series about Bercelona police Inspector Petra Delicado and her partner Sgt. Fermin Garzn, shows why. Delicado is tough, funny and sexy; Garzn is softer and more sentimental, but as stalwart as a large tree when things get rough."
--Dick Adler, The Chicago Tribune

"Barcelona police Inspector Petra Delicado and paunchy, fifty-something Sgt. Fermin Garzn prove to be one of the more engaging sleuth teams to debut in a long time."
--Rosemary Herbert, The Washington Post

"Is there anything quite as satisfying to the mystery lover as discovering a pair of made-for-each-other police partners in a new book? Alicia Gim'nez-Bartlett gives us...cause for appreciation."
--Marietta Dunn, The Philadelphia Inquirer

"American readers will welcome Gim'nez-Bartlett's detective duo of Insp. Petra Delicado and Sgt. Ferm-n Garzn in this sharply honed tale of dog trafficking in Barcelona...a dark, distinctive and surprisingly funny novel."
--Publishers Weekly

"In Caistor's fluent translation, veteran Gim'nez-Bartlett reveals all the casual brutality of her world and its surprising capacity for compassion."
--Kirkus Reviews
