About this ebook
'A cracker, twisting, turning and exploding with real skill.' - Daily Mirror
Harry Barnett is a middle-aged failure. Leading a shabby existence in the shadow of a past disgrace, he is reduced to caretaking a friend's villa on the island of Rhodes and working in a bar to earn his keep. Then a guest at the villa - a young woman he had instantly and innocently warmed to - disappears on a mountain peak.
Under suspicion of her murder, Harry stumbles on a set of photographs taken in the weeks before her disappearance. Obsessed by the mystery that has changed his life and determined to clear his name, he begins to trace back the movements and encounters that led to the moment when she vanished into the blue. The trail leads him back to England, to a world he thought he had left for ever - and a past he has tried desperately to forget.

One of my favourite authors. A mammoth read (over 600 pages) but I finished it in 3 days. Fantastic plotting and a wide range of interesting characters in a story set in Greece and the UK. Many twists and turns - no one can be trusted in this very clever story. Highly recommended.

Since reading In Pale Battalions, Robert Goddard had become the writer I SIMPLY must read! As soon as I pick up his books, I can't put them down. He keeps your interest from start to finish. Excellent!
