A Crime is Afoot 
José Ignacio – Thank you for the introduction, and that’s a great ‘photo. I admire the skill that it takes to create quality television and documentary films, and I wish I knew more about sport than I do. It’s a pleasure to meet an expert in both areas.
Thank you Margot.
Thank José Ignacio – any translated into Italian that you know if?
I don’t think so Sergio. I’ve checked at Amazon.it and I’m afraid that only the Spanish books are available in that site.
Thanks for checking chum, very kind.
