"[Dickinson's] best yet." -The Times (London) "The most original crime novelist to appear for a long, long time." -The Guardian "Coruscating." -Books and Bookmen "Peter Dickinson's crime novels are streets ahead of others for interest and ingenuity." -The Sunday Telegraph "The story is, as might be expected from Peter Dickinson, a beautiful and bewildering set of complications taut with breathtaking suspense." -Louis Untermeyer "Among the authors who can be relied upon to hit the jackpot time and time again Peter Dickinson's place is secure." -The Times (London) "Your wits are needed. . . . This study of trust is his best yet." -The Times (London)
Simulated war games morph into the real thing when a crime wave hits a Greek island in this fast-paced mystery by CWA Gold Dagger winner Peter DickinsonThe West Indies island of Hog's Cay is soon to open for tourism, but the money behind the deal comes from the Mafia, which is ready to turn the island into the next Vegas. And the politicos in charge have given Greek tycoon Thanassi Thanatos the contract. That's where James Pibble comes in. The former Scotland Yard superintendent has come to Thanatos's hideaway on the Ionian island of Hyos to protect the Greek tycoon from the Mob, which doesn't like anyone muscling in on its territory. Rumor has it the crooks are eyeing Hyos for their booming drug-smuggling trade. Throw in British intelligence and a clandestine American operation, and you've got an international free-for-all. The mystery deepens when Pibble uncovers a monastery led by Fathers Polydore and Chrysostom, who may be the richest men on the island. And why is an English artist named Nancy living in a primitive hut? The answers may lie in a myth about a lizard called the samimithi, a harbinger of violent death. With superstition and distrust running rampant, Pibble races to stop a conspiracy set in motion by an obsessive love with the power to kill.
