Product Description

Review
'A sensual portrait of modern Greece, as well as a great page-turner: taste the salt, feel the heat as you follow the dramatic story...offers much more than the crime fiction genre usually encompasses: a rich and intelligent story, with fascinating characters' Scotland on Sunday on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'A new departure for an immensely talented author, and the change of scene from the Scotland of the earlier books to the author's new home of Greece pays great dividends' Barry Forshaw, Publishing News on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'Excellent' - Philip Kerr on A DEEPER SHADE OF BLUE - 'Johnston brings an intelligent perspective to the dark excitement of the thriller' - Nicholas Blincoe, Observer on WATER OF DEATH - 'Another fine example of great storytelling' - Sunday Telegraph on THE HOUSE OF DUST

Product Description
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.
