Description
The sun rises over the island of Folegandros, revealing a young girl's headless body impaled on an antenna pole. Lieutenant Ioli Cara is sent to investigate what looks like an open-and-shut case. But behind the horror lies a tangle of secrets-a jealous brother, a mysterious lover, an ex-boyfriend, and a classmate with something to hide.
Far from the island, her former partner, Captain Costa Papacosta, is meant to be on medical leave. Instead, he finds blood smeared across the cabin next door and a missing passenger who was never seen leaving the ship.
As two investigations unfold across the Aegean, the clues begin to connect. To catch the killer, Costa and Ioli must confront the darkness waiting beneath paradise.
Murder on Display is the fourth book in the Greek Island Mystery series, perfect for fans of dark police procedurals, twist-filled crime fiction, and art-inspired thrillers under the Mediterranean sun.
