A thriller set in Cyprus is unusual. In 1974 Turkey invaded the
island and seized over a third of it, causing innumerable Greek
civilians to flee for their lives. A Berlin Wall-like monstrosity
called the Green Line was built across the country to separate the
Greeks and Turks. Divided into two separate states, Cyprus was
ruined, displaced persons numbered in the hundreds of thousands,
and refugee camps abounded. That was the situation in 1979, when
John Reid arrived in Greek Cyprus. A Scotsman raised in Cyprus,
Reid is here now to visit his old haunts, but it means crossing the
Green Line. 342 men have been shot trying to cross. To cross the
Green Line means death. Reid is the first man to cross the Line,
making several trips back and forth, some for reasons other than
tourism, and becomes celebrated on both sides as the Green Line
Runner. His last trip is complicated by the presence of an American
girl, the daughter of an old nemesis, a CIA man with more than
sufficient reason to kill Reid. To make it worse, Reid runs afoul
of the Turkish Cypriot Secret Service, and almost doesn't make it
back.
