When Nikos, a detective in the final years of his career, is
persuaded back to his home town he is faced with the gory murder of
a young boy near the old monastery. Echoing two murders committed
33 years previously in the exact same spot, and a mass cult
suicide, it brings back a part of the island's history that it has
tried hard to forget. There is a lot at stake - the island's
lucrative tourist trade and the open secret of the drugs trade that
goes hand in hand with the hordes of mainly young British holiday
makers. As Nikos begins his investigation, two British crime
writers arrive on the island. The best selling Kitty Carson, on a
break from the pressures of writing and her strained relationship,
and Jason an aspiring writer whose aim is to strike up a friendship
with her and convince her to help him get published. As the two
writers are thrown together in an unexpected way, another murder is
committed and Jason and Kitty are drawn into an investigation of
their own. As they discover more about the island's dark past what
began as a diversion becomes a dangerous pursuit . . .
