Books like No mourning for the matador by Delano Ames


Barcelona is the colourful background of Jane and Dagobert Brown's Spanish adventure. They attend a bullfight; a matador is killed through an unusual and momentary lack of concentration. He is Denis St. John, *El Inglés* to the enthusiastic crowd, but to Jane quite unmistakably an Irishman. Dagobert's extraordinary behaviour in a night club solves the mystery of the matador's unlikely death — they had both been given the same cigarettes, which happened to be 'reefers.' Involved in unravelling the mystery, Dagobert encounters the dead matador's prospective father-in-law who does not seem unduly upset. "No mourning, in fact, for the matador," quips Dagobert.
