Flowers in the Sun

Byron Knight is a former police detective who has left chilly London and moved to the sun-drenched Greek island of Apilonia to rebuild his life. His idyllic new existence, and his fledgling property business, is suddenly threatened when the island's wealthiest man is shot dead. Knight is very reluctantly drawn into the investigation and has to search for the culprit, and the reason for the murder, and also search his conscience over his attraction to two fascinating women. To solve the case, and save his much-loved slice of paradise, he has to battle against opposition from both criminals and entrenched local interests before uncovering a dark secret. Told with light-hearted good humour, Knight evokes the easy living charm and warm beauty of the Greek islands, and relates encounters with some eccentric, and sometimes threatening characters, on his journey to a solution of the crime, and of his tangled love life.
