An Aegean island in summer. A driver pulls into a garden to answer his phone. Hidden among the olive trees Anna is listening as a slightly familiar voice delivers an order to kill. Shelving her pursuit of the Greek idyll she is drawn into a sequence of events and encounters which lead her, by way of rogue icons and wayward antiquities, to other islands, before returning her to her own deep past on this one, the start, and still the source, of everything. Rich in the atmosphere of contemporary Greek island life, Deirdre Chapman’s tense literary thriller is a must read this summer.
