CRYING
BLUE MURDER
By Paul Johnston
THE WHITEWASHED WALLS OF
PARADISE HIDE ACTS OF CHILLING DEPRAVITY
When Alex Mavros
is hired to find American tourist Rosa Ozal, it looks like a straightforward missing
person's case for the Athens-based private detective. Arriving on the Greek island
where Rosa was last seen, he finds something deeply wrong: a British journalist
has fled without warning and a pair of young lovers has been found floating in
a rigid, naked embrace amongst the fishing nets.
The islanders
are in no mood to answer the questions of an inquisitive outsider - but do they
have other, more sinister motives for keeping Mavros in the dark? As he begins
to unravel the mystery, Mavros discovers an island steeped in horrors beyond his
wildest imaginings.
The winner of the UK CWA John Creasy Memorial
Dagger (for Body Politic) and the Sherlock Award for Best Detective Novel, Paul
Johnston's books have been translated and sold in Holland, Italy, Sweden, Finland,
Norway, Poland and Germany and several adaptations of his novels are in film production.
