'In this fascinating thriller, the remote Greek
island of Thiminos seems untouched and untroubled by modern life -
until the battered body of a young woman is found at the foot of a
cliff' Woman's Own 'Absorbing and beautifully written and reveals the
savage, superstitious reality behind the pretty facade that is all
that most of us know of any Greek island' Literary Review 'This
powerfully atmospheric mystery embraces Mediterranean passion, mythic
meddling and patriarchal persecution. First-time novelist Anne
Zouroudi proves a natural at the dark arts of writing Euro-crime'
Independent 'A really good summer read' Choice
