Description
Bound and gagged, the shocked and terrified victim recognises his
assailant. Days later, another body is discovered. How many assassins
stalk the village? In a picturesque Cypriot village an expatriate
theatrical group gather to discuss their next play; but when the curtain
rises it'll be murder. A blackmailer stalks the cast - a group riven
with jealousies, rivalry, sexual tension and illicit affairs.
Unbeknownst to each other they all attempt to find solutions to their
problems. Some believe it lies in murder. Can they find the blackmailer?
And can they find that all important 'little black book' - the
chronicle of their misdeeds. When a body is discovered, Diana, author
and amateur actor, turns detective to draw up a suspects list. After the
police get involved one of the suspects is found hanged - another
murder or the suicide of a guilty person? A visit to a villager's home
uncovers an ancient assassin's killing device. Could this be the murder
weapon? Is it possible that an assassin lives at the heart of this
formerly peaceful and idyllic village? Love, hate, murder and high drama
all feature in this classic historical detective story. With a long
list of suspects, some dramatic twists and the odd red herring, the
reader is left guessing until the final curtain.
