"A few words on a postcard from Crete concerning her younger sister, and Greta Maitland's world starts spinning out of control: `Sorry to tell you this but Xanthe has been missing since May. Police informed but have found no trace...' In Crete, determined to continue the stalled investigation Greta runs up against a wall of deceptions. Who can she trust? The Cretan police officer deliberately mistranslates her questions; Xanthe's Cretan lover lies ... more and more disturbing facts emerge about her sister. And Greta's growing suspicions about her husband seem confirmed. With only Xanthe's damaged artist's journal and paintings as potential clues, and earthquakes threatening, Greta must discover the extraordinary events that have led to her sister's disappearance. But can her marriage survive such betrayal? And can Greta herself survive the earthquakes, both emotional and physical, that Crete demands of her?"--Publisher description
