As a native English speaker, Luka Williamson isn’t expecting much from La Ciudad del Ingles. He has volunteered to spend one week talking with Spaniards who want to improve their English, in exchange for a free vacation at a luxury resort in the countryside. The program begins with a tour of La Alberca, a nearby UNESCO heritage town where a sacred pig roams the streets and the shops sell loins of jamón for tourists to take home. But the local history lesson quickly takes a back seat when a postal worker is found murdered in an alleyway near the town’s main church.

Thirty-year-old Luka Williamson is a self-absorbed jerk who has life pretty easy. He lives rent-free in his parents’ vacation apartment in Slovenia and writes books full-time.
