Book Description

Sun, sea — and a body on the beach?

Patrick’s hopes of a peaceful holiday — on the sun-drenched island of Crete — are literally dead in the water, when he plunges into the turquoise sea . . . and straight into another swimmer: a fellow who doesn’t respond to Patrick’s greeting. Because he’s dead!

And that’s not the half of it.

The man is no stranger to Patrick. It’s Felix Lomax, a fellow don who should be hundreds of miles away, lecturing on a luxury cruise ship. Not floating adrift in the Med.

Sensing something fishy afoot, Patrick can’t help but delve deeper into the mystery of his friend’s death.

But what deadly currents of jealousy, betrayal and revenge await him, just beneath the surface?

The truth has a way of washing up in the end. And so does murder . . .
