“A great book that you won't want to put down.” Alan
“This murder mystery is a real page turner, I was hooked from start to finish. The descriptions of the Greek island were so vibrant I felt I was actually there.” Angela
Please note this was originally published as Nemesis of the Dead.
SOMEONE’S POISONING PARADISE.
Detective Inspector Jack Dawes and his bride, Corrie, join eight other holidaymakers bound for a tiny Greek island, ready for a bit of sun, sea and sand.
But one of them is a ruthless killer.
Mayhem ensues when a storm destroys the island’s primitive communications, cutting it off from civilization.
IT’S A PERFECT OPPORTUNITY FOR MURDER.
First one victim is poisoned, followed swiftly by another. Then a woman is found badly beaten in a quiet cove and a body is found in a grotto to St Sophia, the island’s patron saint. The island’s visitors are being picked off one by one. Can Jack uncover the truth before the killer ups the ante?
Who will return home — and who will be sacrificed to the island?
Perfect for fans of Agatha Christie, L.J. Ross, J.R. Ellis, Angela Marsons or Faith Martin.

MEET THE DETECTIVES
Detective Inspector Jack Dawes, tall and handsome, looks like the fuzz even when he’s off-duty. He rose up through the ranks at Scotland Yard and now is a well-respected detective in the murder squad. A career copper, he was married to the job until he met Coriander during a money laundering investigation, the case which earned him his promotion to DI. He has logical analytical skills. She has intuitive people skills. So he bounces ideas off her. They make a formidable and funny couple whose skills combine to solve crimes.
