Benefit of the Doubt: He Fled, Danger Followed

Les Cowan

David Hidalgo, a bilingual Scot, and pastor of an independent church in Madrid, is doing what he can to pick up the threads of his life and ministry after his wife is murdered by drug dealers objecting to the local impact of the growing church. Back in Edinburgh he finds friendship, disturbing and unlooked for romance, and then mortal danger as the same drug barons invade his territory once more. When a young girl is abducted, David knows he must set aside his doubts and act…whatever this might cost him.

Les Cowan

Les Cowan lives and works in Ribadeo, Spain, which is one of the underlying inspirations for his writing. He studied English Language and Literature in Edinburgh, the other location brought to life his debut series.
