About This Book

Nigel Strangeways and renowned sculptor Clare Massinger go on a summer cruise in the Grecian Isles, where jealousy and hatred shimmer over the Greek columns, the sunny quiet waters, and the donkey rides. Two sisters -- Miss Ambrose, a frumpy schoolteacher, and Melissa Blaydon, the merry widow incarnate -- are the catalyst for one of the most puzzling murders Nigel Strangeways has ever had to solve.

From the moment the boat sets sail it becomes clear that many of his fellow passengers -- from a neurotic widow to the ship's lecturer -- have guilty secrets to hide, but do any of them also have a motive for murder? It will take all of Nigel's insight and flair if he is to uncover the truth.
