A Stranger in Corfu
ByPublisher Description
A stylish, suspense-filled novel of espionage, shadowy morality, and unraveling secrets set on the sun-drenched Greek island of Vidos.
On the Greek island of Vidos the past lingers like salt in the air. The inhabitants—former members of MI6—are sent here to be forgotten, exiled: either too damaged or too compromised to be allowed to live freely.
For years, residents make the best of their fate—old enemies reconcile, long-lost friends swim together in the warm sea, and estranged lovers share a bed once more. But secrets bind tightly. And when one of their own washes up dead, alliances fracture and a tide of suspicion begins to rise.
A vivid reimagining of a real, hidden slice of the British Intelligence Service's history, A Stranger in Corfu is an exquisitely tense, masterfully spun novel of unravelling secrets and the futility of trying to outrun the past.
