Synopsis
A retreat to Greece becomes a dangerous trap for a grieving and haunted widow in this novel from &“a superb and gifted storyteller&” (Mary Higgins Clark). Ever since Dorcas Brandt&’s husband, Gino Nikkaris, died in a plane crash, she&’s been beset by troubling suspicions that his shady intrigues in the art world may have been the cause of his death. Desperate for both a new future and answers to the questions about Gino&’s past, Dorcas whisks her daughter away to the Greek island of Rhodes. Among Gino&’s family, friends, and former colleagues—and a kindhearted American named Johnny—Dorcas hopes to find a semblance of peace as she traverses the magnificent ruins and ancient fortresses. But her dreams are soon dashed: There&’s something accusatory and unforgiving in her late husband&’s elderly female patron; the peculiar woman enlisted as her daughter&’s nanny is a black hole of hostility; a new love is under threat; and as scrawled warnings appear and disappear before her eyes, she fears for her own sanity. Now, as her husband&’s mysterious past casts a shadow over Dorcas&’s every move, the young mother must confront not only a terrible truth but also the terrifying fate that awaits her on the white cliffs of the Aegean. Set against a picturesque Mediterranean backdrop, this novel of lies and family secrets from a New York Times–bestselling and Edgar Award–winning author is &“told with the skill that has caused Miss Whitney to be compared with Mary Stewart and Daphne du Maurier&” (The Springfield Republican). This ebook features an illustrated biography of Phyllis A. Whitney including rare images from the author&’s estate.
