Vivienne Laurent came to Crete for silence.
Sea air. Sunlight. A long-overdue holiday.
Instead, she finds a luxury resort rising too fast, land being quietly reclassified, and a system designed to make entire olive groves disappear without a trace.
Vivienne translates state secrets for a living.
Notices patterns others miss.
And never quite manages to stay out of trouble.
What begins as a curiosity becomes something far more dangerous - a network of power, money, and influence stretching far beyond the island.
Some paradises are built.
Others are bought.
And some are stolen.
