A sudden disappearance. A twisting hunt for the truth. A harrowing journey...Robert Goodards manipulation of suspense and surprise rarely fails to dazzle.-The New York Times Book ReviewHarry Barnett lives the life of an Englishman on permanent vacation in Greece, house-sitting for a powerful friend and hiding from a past disgrace. That is, until a guest at the villa disappears on a walking tour, and Harry is the number one suspect. While a Greek detective tries to trap him, and the British tabloids pillory him at home, Harrys conscience is his worst enemy of all. What happened to young, beautiful Heather Mallender? Who took her-and why didnt Harry realize that something was amiss?Suddenly, a man steeped in failure has found a purpose, retracing the strange, twisting route that led to Heathers vanishing. But the more he learns, the less he knows. Until Harry finds himself at the heart of a dangerous puzzle whose pieces are scattered everywhere: in the realm of British politics, in the beds of adulterous lovers, in the past, the present, and most of all, amid the secrets of a killer. . . .Praise for Into the BlueCracking good literature entertainment . . . had me utterly spellbound . . .
