Island of the Seven Hills

There was no place to hide on this Mediterranean island shadowed by terror.

The Island of Gozo, linked to Malta by a steamboat ferry, is the delightful setting of this novel of romance and suspense. Beautifully evoked in all its moods, the Island and its people are as much part of the story as the expatriates who bring crime and violence to its age-old tranquillity. Alexa relocates in Gozo to investigate the mysterious death of her father. She finds an unusually expensive painting in his deserted farmhouse and the locals fear for her safety as she closes in on the murderer.

The news of her father's strange death brought lovely young Alexa Prescott back to the enchanting Mediterranean island where she had known such happiness…back to the place where that happiness had been shattered by a lover who preferred another woman…back to the place that every fiber of her being told her to flee before it was too late.

For now this sun-drenched paradise was haunted by violence…violence that struck savagely in the night…violence that stalked the empty rooms and labyrinth-like underground tunnels of the ancient house that had been her father's home…violence that might be masquerading as a man who was bent on regaining her love only to betray it again…
