Description

An old friend persuades Gibraltarian lawyer Spike Sanguinetti to take a well-earned rest on Corfus beautiful north-east coast. But when the bloodied body of a young Albanian is found and a local man accused of his murder, Spike reluctantly agrees to take the case. Beneath the islands veneer of wealth and privilege Spike uncovers truths so damaging that those involved will go to any lengths to protect them. And when a vulnerable young woman disappears, Spike knows that there are some sleeping dogs he cannot let lie

Reviews

Popular fiction at its best * Susan Hill *
Evocative, engrossing and entertaining * The Times *
Mogfords sharp prose drew me in from the first page and his intriguingly flawed hero Spike stands out in the memory * Sadie Jones *
Very original, and brilliantly rendered a rare and enviable talent * William Boyd *
