Following the tragic accident that claimed his wife and son, former-soldier and policeman, Peter Murray, returns to the beautiful holiday island of Cyprus to complete the deal on the 'Place In The Sun' that was his late wife's life-long dream. But Murray's hopes are shattered when he finds the house being lived in by Russian mobster, Valerik Podruznig, and his family, as well as his small army of enforcers. Podruznig already sees the potential in the house Murray built - and has no intention of giving it up.
From Murray's initial attempts at peaceful negotiation, what begins as a simple property dispute quickly escalates, through threats, intimidation and violence, before exploding into all-out war. In the face of Podruznig's casual disregard for the law, Murray has to call on all his policing experience and military know-how to counter the Russian's efforts and stay alive.
Equal parts crime novel, heist thriller, and military adventure, A Killing Place In The Sun recounts the struggle for supremacy between two determined adversaries, one as ruthless and dangerous as the other is principled and daring, as they each seek the resolution they desire.
Hanging over the action, is the mystery of what happened to the shipment of gold that disappeared during Murray and his team's last military mission, and its connection, if any, to the house in the sun. Things are complicated further when the local police chief's vivacious daughter's sympathy for Murray's plight start evolving into something deeper. And when her life is threatened, it triggers a nail-biting climax that finally brings Murray and Podruznig face-to-face in a way that is not just unexpected, but puts several twists on all that has gone before. As the new dawn casts its first shadows over what has, by now, become, A Killing Place In The Sun, the shattering truth finally reveals itself. But who will be left alive to witness it?
