An ex-Scotland Yard superintendent is caught up in an international
mystery: "The most original crime novelist to appear for a long,
long time." -The Guardian The West Indies island of Hog's Cay is
soon to open for tourism, but the money behind the deal comes from
the Mafia, which is ready to turn the island into the next Vegas.
And the politicos in charge have given Greek tycoon Thanassi
Thanatos the contract. That's where James Pibble comes in. The
former Scotland Yard superintendent has come to Thanatos's hideaway
on the Ionian island of Hyos to protect the Greek tycoon from the
Mob, which doesn't like anyone muscling in on its territory. Rumor
has it the crooks are eyeing Hyos for their booming drug-smuggling
trade. Throw in British intelligence and a clandestine American
operation, and you've got an international free-for-all. The
mystery deepens when Pibble uncovers a monastery led by Fathers
Polydore and Chrysostom, who may be the richest men on the island.
And why is an English artist named Nancy living in a primitive hut?
The answers may lie in a myth about a lizard called the samimithi,
a harbinger of violent death. With superstition and distrust
running rampant, Pibble races to stop a conspiracy set in motion by
an obsessive love with the power to kill. The Lizard in the Cup is
the 5th book in the James Pibble Mysteries, but you may enjoy
reading the series in any order.
