THE DARK SIDE OF THE ISLAND
 
Memories of love and war cast shadows over a Greek
island paradise

 
Captain Hugh Lomax waited until long after the war before
returning to Kyros, but then found himself swallowed up by the
feelings he had fought hard to suppress. Beautiful Katina Pavlo
was waiting, and so much of their lives still remained ...
 
But the ravages of war have changed Kyros. The islanders too
are waiting. And the cry in their heart is revenge.
 
Lomax's last view of Kyros had been as a German prisoner of
war. He knew he was innocent. So just who had betrayed the
islanders in the darkest days of Nazi occupation? And were they
ready to destroy again to keep their secret safe?
