Uninvited Guest
1 Arrival

The brochure stated: “A holiday in Spain at a luxury villa for two”.

But there had been no mention of the visitor who wished to share the couple’s food and accommodation, and he certainly wasn’t there for sun and relaxation.

It was September 1980 when Daniel and Isabel arrived at the villa in their open-top MG sports car. By now it was late evening, completely dark, and the car’s headlights brushed across the white stone walls of their idyllic house in the country as their car swung into the driveway area. They had travelled a long way and their blood-red MG had gathered a considerable layer of dust on the journey; and so had their suitcases which were strapped to the boot-rack at the back.
