Happy New Year, everybody.
I hope you enjoy this extract from MINE TO AVENGE, now available as paperback
and e-book (details below).
But even Caterina didn’t
know the truth of that dreadful last day— the day when a threat was delivered through
the hand of a stranger, the threat that meant Alcandor couldn’t hope to stay in
Greece at all, the threat that meant he never wanted to return under any
circumstances.
He recalled the awful note,
word for word. Each time he thought of it, he winced with pain, the words
etched in his mind by a cruel finger of fire. He had kept the note all these
years, not revealing its existence or contents to anyone. On the one hand, he
wanted to share it, as it was a heavy burden to carry alone. On the other hand,
he didn’t want to show it to anyone, as it would alarm his family—and there was
the threat against his family if he did reveal it.
What might happen if he did
talk? Was his family being watched as the note had warned? Who was watching?
How could he warn his family of any potential harm? Could he—should he—talk to
the police? He tried to push the questions from his mind and pushed himself up
from the chair to fetch the cocoa and sugar from the cupboard.
It was only recently that
these memories had begun troubling him again. He’d almost lost his mind during
the weeks in Athens waiting to leave Greece, and the first few days on board
ship were a paranoid blur as he inspected, spied, examined, surveyed and
listened to anyone and anything—watching, waiting, alert to any potential
threat.
But why were his memories
being stirred up again in this new country so far away, and after so many
years? Why was it troubling him now? Was it because his son was going to Greece
for his honeymoon? Was that the cause of his uneasiness? What if their family’s
enemies found out Dymas was there? Could their enemies reach out to harm his
son while he was in Greece?
