A British detective working in the Greek Islands encounters a murderous pagan cult in this “brilliantly plotted and refreshing” crime thriller (Betsy Reavley, author of The Quiet Ones). After a traumatic case leaves his body broken and his career damaged, Detective Inspector Beckett Kyriakoulis leaves his old life behind to oversee the Criminal Investigation Bureau on the Greek Island of Farou. Working the beat of this hidden paradise will feel like retirement. The weather is beautiful, the beer is cold, and serious crime is exceedingly rare. But the tranquility of Beckett’s new life is cut violently short when dead bodies start showing up—murder victims that bare the markings of a pagan cult. With doubts about his mental and physical ability to handle the case, Beckett receives help in the form of a British detective who is everything Beckett is not—young, ambitious and by the book. As their investigation gets off to a rocky start, Beckett finds himself confronting the demons of his past. With victims and questions mounting, one thing is for certain: Sometimes paradise can be hell. The Hidden Island is the debut novel of screenwriter Angela Corner, whose credits include the BBC dramas Eastenders and Hollyoaks.

Anaptra dreamt. Not the kind of dreams you would expect a fourteen-year-old girl would have, even one that had seen the end of the world. No, Anaptras dreams were more like visions, almost memories. She saw a small boy surviving alone in the desolate streets of Hong Kong, forced to run with pack-dogs, the dominant species in the area. Now all the humans were gone. She saw another boy, around her own age, who lived in an ancient volcano on a hidden island and whose best friends were creatures she knew only existed in fairytales and fantasy games. These boys were like her, special, gifted. They were the future. She had wandered Africa for the seven years since the war. Her father was the only other human she knew, and her best friend was a juvenile cheetah, but that was all about to change. Today she would meet Ivan, the leader of the resistance and the person who would bring her dreams crashing into her reality.

His course follows the route of Adriaen Block, the first European who in 1614 sailed and mapped this area. On old marine charts, these islands have curious-sounding names such as Money Island, Pot Island, and Rats Island, while names such as Rockaway, Jamaica Bay, and Montauk speak of the indigenous people who once inhabited the land. Rooted in history, local tales are interwoven with current themes such as climate change and wrapped in the narrative of sailing in quest of a sense of place.
