Book description
Harry Barnett is a middle-aged failure. Leading a shabby existence in
the shadow of a past disgrace, he is reduced to caretaking a friend's
villa on the island of Rhodes and working in a bar to earn his keep.
Then a guest at the villa - a young woman he had instantly and
innocently warmed to - disappears on a mountain peak.
Under suspicion of her murder, Harry stumbles on a set of
photographs taken in the weeks before her disappearance. Obsessed by
the mystery that has changed his life and determined to clear his
name, he begins to trace back the movements and encounters that led to
the moment when she vanished into the blue. The trail leads him back
to England, to a world he thought he had left for ever - and a past he
has tried desperately to forget.
Robert Goddard was born in Hampshire and read History at Cambridge.

and their labyrinthine plotting. Into the Blue was winner of the first
WHSmith Thumping Good Read Award and was dramatized for TV, starring
