Description

Five years after witnessing murder on the sun-drenched island of Paros, Alistair Haston’s world is upended by a shattering discovery: a son he never knew existed.

Desperate to learn more, he races 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, Alistair has a chilling revelation, could the spectre of his past be resurfacing to taunt him? Could 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.
