'Another fine example of great storytelling' - Sunday Telegraph on THE HOUSE OF DUST 'First-rate crime fiction with an original twist' - Sunday Telegraph on THE BONE YARD 'Quint Dalrymple [is] a testy, tenacious detective...a smart move to shift much of the novel to Glasgow' - The Sunday Times on THE BLOOD TREE 'Johnston brings an intelligent perspective to the dark excitement of the thriller' - Nicholas Blincoe, Observer on WATER OF DEATH 'Think of Plato's Republic with a body count' - The Sunday Times on BODY POLITIC


Product Description

When Alex Mavros is asked to track down a missing woman, he jumps at the chance to leave the stifling heat of Athens. Travelling to the small island of Trigono, he soon realises that there is more than one mystery to be solved. How did a young couple drown in the nets of a fishing boat? Why did a British journalist leave without telling her friends? Why is the millionaire Theocharis so nervous and whose bones does old Maro keep beneath her bed? The answers lie in events that took place during the Second World War, events that tie in with the island's most ancient history. In a race to prevent a terrible crime being repeated, Alex Mavros is pitted against a ruthless and depraved killer...

5.0 out of 5 stars If you like crime, you'll love this!, 27 Aug 2008
By Lizzie Redstone (stoke-on-trent, england) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Deeper Shade of Blue (Paperback)
After reading this book, i decided two things: that i was going to buy every other book that P.Johnston wrote, and that i was going to greece. i have done both.

Paul Johnston blends crime fiction into every day life whith such skill that you finally remember that the horrifc scenes that are featured in this book, actually really do happen in real life, despite many people delusions. i have heard some people say that crime writers that portray crime like paul johnston does in this book, have no idea what crime is trully like and that the whole book is very unconvincing. the truth is that its writers like these that have actually opened their eyes and are using their imagination far less that we think.

set on a beautiful imaginary island in greece, this book travels you to romantic sunny spots where life is ended in terrible ways, women are violated in the most unhumane way and greek history is blended into the story in such a way that you dont notice how interested you are in it till the the book ends. he describes his characters in such depth that you get to know them inside out without being bored by too many adjectives in a sentence, and his narative skills are so strong that just reading about a hot sweaty day makes you need to remove a layer of your clothing, which makes you think what happens when you get to the crime scenes...

an amzing book. a must read for both men and women, though not for the squemish. not a beach book but a page turner with room for plenty of sequels.
