What to expect
A stylish, suspense–filled novel of espionage, shadowy morality, and unraveling secrets set on the sun–drenched Greek island of Vidos.
On the Greek island of Vidos the past lingers like salt in the air. The inhabitants—former members of MI6—are sent here to be forgotten, exiled: either too damaged or too compromised to be allowed to live freely.
For years, residents make the best of their fate—old enemies reconcile, long–lost friends swim together in the warm sea, and estranged lovers share a bed once more. But secrets bind tightly. And when one of their own washes up dead, alliances fracture and a tide of suspicion begins to rise.
A vivid reimagining of a real, hidden slice of the British Intelligence Service's history, A Stranger in Corfu is an exquisitely tense, masterfully spun novel of unravelling secrets and the futility of trying to outrun the past.
