About the Book

Who was Ali Bey? An explorer, a scientist, an adventurer, a charlatan, a spy, a fraudster, a freeloader ... or a legend? He disguised himself as an Arab and fooled half the world. He was the first Westerner to manage to get inside Mecca and back out alive. His sketches, tales and observations about ethnic identity, customs and geography made the Arab world known to a European readership who, in the 19th century, were completely ignorant of the region. Bring Me His Dead body is the third part of The Shadow of Ali Bey trilogy, in which the great mystery surrounding the man is unveiled. The book tells of his life in France, his relationship with his wife and children, his attempt to convince Richelieu to employ him, and how he finally managed to get the government to finance his great adventure in search of an inland sea in Africa. The action plays out on two stages: London and Paris. Lord Parry, the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Duke of Decazes, the French Minister of Police, receive the news at the same time: Ali Bey has disappeared. England and France blame one another for his apparent death. The Duke of Decazes orders his people to track down the adventurer. And to bring back his body if he is dead. That is the start of an adventure in which the British and French secret services chase the shadow of Ali Bey through Europe, Turkey and the Middle East. Everyone has seen him, everyone has spoken to him, but no-one knows where he is. The dénouement reveals the greatness and misfortunes of a man who attained legendary status. Albert Salvadó successfully brings his trilogy to a masterful close.
About the Author: I borned in Andorra la Vella (1951, Principality of Andorra). Andorra is one of the smallest countries in the word. The country, in the middle of the Pyrenees (between France and Spain), in winter is covered with snow and the national sport is skiing. We are the little Switzerland. I'm industrial engineer and writer. I live at 4500 feets high, in a house in the woods, where I write my books. I've writen children's stories, essays and novels. I'm particularly known for my historical novels. In crime fiction, I have written "El rapto, el muerto y el Marsellés," Black Series Prize in 2000, and "Una vida en juego," dedicated to the Casino of Rabassada (1910). In anticipation novel I have written "Un voto por la esperanza," a novel that won the title of "Work Chosen" in the I International Novel Prize in 1985 Plaza & Janes, and "El informe Phaeton" which has won the unanimous applause of the public, that says this is my most impressive novel. In historical fiction, my specialty, I have written of all ages: "The master of Cheops" Néstor Luján Prize Historical Novel 1998, "El anillo de Atila" Fiter i Rossell Prize 1999, "Los ojos de Aníbal" Charlemagne Prize 2002, "La Gran Concubina de Egipto" Nestor Lujan Prize 2005, the trilogy dedicated to James I the Conqueror (2000) composed of: "El puñal del sarraceno," "La reina húngara" and "Hablad o matdame," the trilogy dedicated to Ali Bey composed of: "Maldito catalán,""Maldito musulmán" and "Maldito cristiano" and my last novel "Abre los ojos y despierta." I love to mix reality, fiction and mystery with exquisite subtlety, that always wrap by feelings. I have books published into several languages: Catalan, Spanish, English, French, Portuguese, Greek, Slovak, Czech ... I'm regarded as having breathed new life into the historical novel in the Catalan language. I'm very happy for this title.
