Publisher's Summary:
Enda Osin is a sharp cookie when it comes to political intrigue. His daily column in the Herald is controversial and popular. Upsetting the incumbents of the White House and Downing Street over an embarrassing article, his editor has been forced to side-line him. He has been assigned to write a series of articles for the Herald's Sunday supplement about Paul Hrisacopolis, a shipping billionaire with a thirst for power in the European Union and a believer in Enosis for Cyprus. To help him is art correspondent, Jessica Du Rosse, a beautiful and sophisticated West Indian half his age and with whom he is soon falling in love. Hrisacopolis has offered to transport priceless artifacts that the British Museum has agreed to relinquish claim to, from London to Athens on board the flagship of his cruise line. He's looking forward to partying on the cruise with influential European politicians who can vote him onto a powerful committee chairmanship. That position could be used to influence public opinion against Turkey and cause the return of civil war on Cyprus. With news that Paul's only grandson, essential key player to take his grandfather's place as figurehead, has agreed to end a family feud, the old man has everything going his way. A few loose tongues need silencing. Ahmet Zeki, Paul's murderous Turkish shipping agent is ordered to deal with the situation. Ahmet however, has his own plans. Working for the KKA, a Turkish terrorist group and the Turkish Secret Service, his sole aim as a double agent is to destroy Paul and profit from the chaos by using his son as an imposter to replace the real grandson. It doesn't take Enda long to get entangled in the Hrisacopolis family mystery involving Paul's brother Ioannis, George, his dead son; and Isia, the young girl George hoped to marry.

Isia's Secret
The book is basically a contemporary spy thriller, a genre that I quite like. Enda Osin is a columnist at Herald, a newspaper in London whoâs just been demoted because he tends to be blunt in his reports, something that the powers to be donât care for, not when theyâre usually end up getting exposed for whey really are.
So now Enda gets a very simple assignment and a new female partner, Jessica Du Rosse, a beautiful a West Indian woman who is literally half his own age, to write only positive things about a Greek tycoon, Paul Hrisacopolis and his charitable activities, which include his latest project, bringing back the Elgin Marbles to Athens.
However as luck would have it, Enda and Jessica discover dark secrets about the Greek millionaire, who is not all that charitable as he seems to be. In fact he is a greedy, corrupt and power driven industrialist who is not shy away from giving orders to kill anyone who gets in the way. And of course Enda and Jessica soon will find themselves in the middle of all this â doing exactly what the tycoon doesnât want them to do: getting in the way and discovering stuff that should better be hidden away.
The story takes us from Cyprus to Greece, to England, Turkey and other parts of Europe, giving us a very visual and well done description of the places encountered.
