Villa Plot, Counterplot

In this, the second Alistair Duncan story, the Bristol solicitor is instructed by local publican Martin Harper to help with his problems involving a Spanish villa plot which he has purchased.

Unknown to both solicitor and client, they are taking on a ruthless and unscrupulous trio of international con-men who have been playing on the stupidity and greed of purchasers like the publican.

Traps for the unwary in buying property in Spain are spelt out in stark terms.

The story takes Alistair Duncan abroad once again, this time to Spain and France, in his attempts to help a client who, at times, seems more intent on helping himself to the dolly birds than in sorting out his problems.

Praise for Douglas Stewart:

“The climax is tense… authentic” – *Western Gazette*

“This exciting story, with its wonderfully vivid court scenes…” – *South Wales Argus*

“Do read this superb novel” – *Sunday Independent*

**Douglas Stewart** did not start writing professionally until he had become an international lawyer. Ever since, he has juggled writing with legal issues in the UK and USA before taking early retirement, giving him more time to focus on writing. After a stint in Las Vegas, he is now back in Europe where he lives with his wife. *Villa Plot, Counterplot* is the second of three novels involving Bristol solicitor, Alistair Duncan.
