SOLVED. A British detective left for dead. His last name is Spanish. [s]

[Judith]

I’m looking for a book with a British detective left for dead. His last name is Spanish, and the author’s first name is Michael, I think.

One of the Patrick Perella books by Michael Gilbert? (his dad is Spanish and his mom English) Looks like it's set in London.
I haven't read any of them so I'm not sure if one of them is the book that you're looking for!

Brutish or British?

Thanks for helping. I found out who he is. His name is Inspector Ruiz, and the novel is by Michael Robotham.

Glad you found your book, Judith. Here's the link for the Joseph O'Loughlin series. The first book is Suspect by Michael Robotham.

Thanks.
