Description
"Superb narrative, engaging characters and fast-paced dialogue."
"This author can write! This book goes on my madly-in-love-with bookshelf. Highly recommended."
A powerful contemporary novel from the author of the Amazon best-selling Greek memoir, Things Can Only Get Feta. In this romantic suspense novel, Bronte McKnight is summoned to a hillside village in the wild and beautiful Mani region of Greece by her expat father Angus. She must help him solve a family mystery from the Second World War when her grandfather disappeared in the Mani during the disastrous Battle of Kalamata, known as 'the Greek Dunkirk'.
With the country gripped by economic crisis, and the clock ticking against them, their near-impossible quest takes them from Kalamata to a remote mountain village where its inhabitants are bound by old traditions and secrecy. As tensions rise, the pair are helped in their search by unforgettable characters, especially charismatic doctor Leonidas Papachristou. He has a pivotal role, not least in challenging Bronte's assumption that she hasn't the time or the courage to fall in love in Greece.
The secrets unearthed by Angus and Bronte will be painful and astonishing and the heart-warming conclusion is one you'll never forget.
