Book Description
‘THE LAST RED DEATH is that rare breed of thriller: a ripping page-turner that is also stylish and intelligent. The heart, passions and politics of Greece come absolutely alive under Johnston's masterful touch' JEFFERY DEAVER --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Synopsis
A second chilling thriller featuring Alex Mavros - the new name in crime fiction IRAKLIS - a mysterious Greek terrorist group. A rogue offshoot of the communist party. At its head, a man with many names. An elusive master assassin who has been in exile for ten years. ALEX MAVROS - half-Greek, half-Scottish investigator. A man driven by the desire to find his missing brother, last heard of at an underground resistance meeting during the dictatorship. GRACE HELMER - an American who saw her father murdered when she was a child. Iraklis was responsible. Two businessmen are murdered in Athens. The trademark piece of olive wood is found with the victims' bodies. Iraklis is back. And Grace Helmer employs Mavros to track down her father's killer. THE LAST RED DEATH is an intriguing and atmospheric new thriller from the highly-acclaimed Paul Johnston, in which the sins of the fathers come back to haunt their children

5.0 out of 5 stars The past is always with us., 15 Sep 2007
This review is from: The Last Red Death (Paperback)
I haven't read any of Paul Johnstons scottish novels as they don't really appeal to me, I only picked this one up because I'm greek and greek fictions a little thin on the ground. Therefore I wasn't actually expecting it to be really very good, excellent in fact. The characters are absolutely believable and the plot fantastic.
I read parts to my rather ancient greek father (who doesn't read books) about the past; and he said how much it reminded him of all his old hopes and dreams of a better future from those times. He remembered all his old heroes from the second world war and after.
If I got nothing else from this book than my old Pa happily recanting his & his friends tales of heroism against the dictatorship then I must thank the author for the best book I've read all year.
Read this book I guarantee you'll not be able to put it down.
