A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE

Paul Johnston's brilliantly conceived novel is the first in a series featuring Greece-based private investigator Alex Mavros.

The idyllic Greek island of Trigono harbours many secrets. Its labyrinth of caves contains priceless ancient figurines. The caves gave sanctuary to tragic lovers during the Second World War. Now they are the backdrop to acts of chilling depravity.

American tourist Rosa Ozal has disappeared and investigator Alex Mavros is hired to trace her. Half Greek, half Scots, Mavros is in the perfect position to play the innocent holidaymaker. He is soon to discover that there's much more going on than meets the eye. Two young islanders have ended up in the nets of a local fishing boat. A British journalist has left Trigono without warning. The resident millionaire and museum owner seems to be very ill at ease. And there are some highly suspicious deals going down in the deep blue waters that surround the island.

In a race to stop a terrible crime being repeated, Alex Mavros must break through Trigono's whitewashed walls of silence to uncover the deadly consequences of a feud that has plagued the island for generations.
