About

Convicted of murdering a fellow journalist, a writer returns to Greece to find the truth in Dorothy Salisbury Davis's stunning, richly atmospheric novel of deadly political intrigue John Eakins returns to Greece, seemingly to pursue Byron scholarship. But his deeper concern is to find out the truth about the murder of an American newspaperman named Alexander Webb, killed during the Greek Communist rebellion seventeen years before. Eakins had been implicated in that murder. Now, his search takes him from Athens to the primitive village of Kaléa, where he finds Paul Stephanou, a blind man also implicated in the Webb murder. Once enemies, now ostensibly friends, they journey together into an old, unforgetting part of Greece, becoming involved in new intrigue and placing themselves in mortal danger as they uncover the origins of the plot that killed Webb.

Reviews

"Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler and Josephine Tey . . . Dorothy Salisbury Davis belongs in the same company. She writes with great insight into the psychological motivations of all her characters."
The Denver Post
"I'd love to see Dorothy Salisbury Davis's oeuvre brought back into print. . . . She is one of the most deeply insightful thinkers into the human condition I've ever known. . . . If I had to pick one or two books, I'd choose A Town of Masks and Enemy and Brother."
Sara Paretsky, author of the V. I. Warshawski series
"Davis has special appeal to more sophisticated crime fiction fans."
