Description

‘The smells, tastes and surrounds of Greece rise of the page like the heat on a midday beach’ Financial Times

1994, five years after a murderous encounter on the island of Paros, Alastair Haston’s world is upended by a startling discovery: a son he never knew existed.  Desperate to learn more, he travels to Athens, but his pursuit is intercepted when MI6 intervenes, coercing him into a high-stakes espionage mission – to infiltrate a suspected mafia operation intent on abducting his son.

As the chase unravels across the Mediterranean, from Athens to Zakynthos and on to Crete, Alistair has a chilling revelation, could the spectre of his past be returning to taunt him?  Does the answer lie in that fateful, deadly summer on Paros five years ago?

Dugald Bruce-Lockhart is a stage and screen actor and director. He trained at RADA and has worked extensively with the RSC, the National Theatre and the Old Vic. His work includes Mama Mia, The Crown andPrivate Lives. His first thriller, The Lizard was published to rave reviews in 2020.
