A lost phone, the dead body of its mysterious owner with multiple identities, and an initial suspect who was the last person found to have the phone during a hot and humid four July days in the picturesque little tourist village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes. How does Inspector Papadoulis investigate the case and unravel the many different leads to find the killer when there is obviously a lot more to it than originally meets the eye, alongside distractions in his personal life? A lot more than he knows or discovers about the victim's past, and the organisations and people searching for her, echoing the three most important themes in Homer's Odyssey: hospitality, loyalty and vengeance, each important cultural standards held by the Ancient Greeks.

This is a story of steamy tourist entanglements between two women and two men under the baking hot sun of two midsummer weeks in 2016 in the picturesque Rhodes village of Lindos. In a tale of a Greek labyrinth of relationships - encompassing instant attraction, lies, deceit, callous betrayals, and cold hearted revenge - both the women harbour a deep secret within them.

This is the final part of a Lindos trilogy:Why would anyone stab someone to death and then want to prevent identification of the body by incinerating it in the beautiful tourist village of Lindos on the island of Rhodes? Who is the victim and who is their murderer? That is the mystery that confronts Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis in July 2010, just over four weeks before his retirement. Just like the InspectorÕs personal life, his attempts to identify the victim and find the killer also develop into a tangled web of possibilities, stretching far beyond Lindos.

Having been transferred from Athens to the island of Rhodes due to a serious error of judgement on a murder case, resulting from his somewhat unorthodox method of analysing evidence, the professional life of Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis is shrouded in frustration and bitterness. When the dead body of an English journalist is discovered on the rocks beneath the Lindos Acropolis in late June, 2001, his initial instinct is to assume it is a suicide. However, he soon discovers that it is murder. As the investigation proceeds in the picturesque little tourist village, elements of his previous unorthodox approach resurface, particularly those related to fondness for his pet subject of Greek mythology. Consequently, Karagoulis decides that there are two sets of conflicting explanations for the murder - one depicted by the Greek Goddess of deception, Apatê, and another, the truth, represented by the Goddess Aletheia - a point which he is not slow in making to his fellow investigating officers.

This is a story of how hope of a change materialised in Czechoslovakia in 1989 during the 'Velvet Revolution', told through the experiences of two Czech women and an Englishman during that period. It is set in the Czech Republic in 1994, with recollections of the tide of circumstances of the 'Velvet Revolution' in 1989 that affected the relationships of the three central characters. It tells interwoven stories of the hopes of the Czech people in 1989, their situation in the Czech Republic five years later, and the man's hope in 1994 of a meaningful relationship with one of the women having made what he feels was the wrong choice between them four-and-a-half years previously. It is a tale of parallel journeys; the journey of a country in 1989 and the journey of a man in his life. Both have a journey of hope.
