A sudden death in Cyprus

Having melted easily into Cyprus's relaxed expat community, fugitive crime writer David Mitre is feeling relatively secure.

His cash stashed in secret accounts and his exit routes mapped out, he can concentrate on his writing.

All that changes when he's witness to a cold-blooded murder in broad daylight in Paphos beach.

The killing brings David to the attention of the FBI, who forcefully request his help in solving a crime far worse than anything he's been accused of.
