About the Book

A dramatic and atmospheric novel of war, betrayal and friendship against the backdrop of a beautiful Greek island during World War 2

In the early 1930s schoolboys Peter Dorner and Mahos Papandraki became friends while Peter's father worked on an archaeological dig on the Greek island of Lefkas. Years later, at the height of the Second World War, they are fated to meet again. Now, though, Peter is an intelligence officer in the German army, brought in to help suppress the partisans, while Mahos is the leader of the local resistance movement. Peter's knowledge of the island and its people is now a deadly weapon against his old friend, and the many others who made his childhood visit so idyllic. The decisions each man makes will be critical to the destiny of countless men, women and children, as they stand torn between loyalty to each other and loyalty to the country of their birth.

Review :
Gripping... [a] moving narrative of friendships broken by war and betrayal What an amazing roller-coaster of a ride... this book is fantastic... So startlingly good, so utterly readable 'An action-packed narrative' Without shying away from the realities of the war in this rarely mentioned corner of the conflict, the story deftly weaves the past together with the effects it has on future generations... The story of the friendship at the heart of this novel stays with you after reading. ***** (5 stars) 'A rip-roaring page-turner... Sturdy elegance and incisive wit' Scarrow neatly weaves together competing human passions for treasure, love, honour and freedom in a moving tribute to the Greek resistance during the Second World War Simon Scarrow writes vividly of the drama and intensity of 20th century warfare A deep and intense novel that examines the effects of World War II on Lefkas and the rest of Greece ...a compelling and exciting read. This is a real treat for fans of Scarrow, a fast-paced page turner. Recommended Pacy...and thrilling This is an excellent novel with powerful storytelling and well-crafted characters whose proud stories and courage will melt your heart. I really enjoyed this evocative and emotional novel and found the detail compelling and interesting Can friendship survive the horrors of war?

I was not disappointed' 'A "can't put down" book of the best kind! I found myself whispering warnings and encouragement to the characters as though they were my friends' 'I found myself immersed in this adventure.
