What is The Last Sigh about?

The Last Sigh is about a young Canadian woman who goes to Granada in search of information about her lover, Tony, who apparently drowned there, but may have been murdered. He has become more and more of a mystery to her, since secret events of his life have come to light. She has a key and a map relating to his descent from Moorish and Jewish inhabitants of Granada, expelled in 1492; his family is supposed to have inherited the sword of Boabdil, the last Moorish ruler. His name, Benabo, is a corruption of an ancient Moorish one. That's the core of the plot: solving a family mystery involving treasure and ancient lineage; there are various other mysteries, murders, treasures, and eccentric characters.
