About the Book
Escape to Greece with this suspenseful, atmospheric short story!
The White Lotus meets Daphne du Maurier and Mary Stewart in this lush, atmospheric psychological thriller – perfect for fans of Lucy Clarke and Ruth Ware.
When a delayed flight leaves Daphne stranded overnight in Chania—Crete’s beautiful Venetian harbour city—she decides to make the most of the unexpected stopover. But what begins as a chance to wander the quaint alleyways, savour local Greek cooking and watch the sunset over the famous lighthouse, soon takes a darker turn…
As twilight falls over the Old Town, Daphne finds herself alone in a labyrinth of narrow lanes and shuttered shops, with a dark figure shadowing her every move. Lost in unfamiliar streets with no one to turn to, can Daphne outwit a stalker who knows this city far better than she does—and who has no intention of letting her go?
The heart-pounding prequel to The Taverna at the Edge of Night (coming May 2026) – this atmospheric psychological thriller short story is perfect for readers who miss the classic, atmospheric romantic suspense of Mary Stewart and ‘woman in jeopardy’ destination thrillers, as well as fans of The White Lotus and psychological thrillers by Lucy Foley and Tana French.
