Deze serie volgt het leven van een Engelse conciërge van middelbare leeftijd in Griekenland. Zijn dagen worden gevormd door onverwachte wendingen en diepgaande menselijke connecties. De verhalen duiken in thema's als identiteit, verbondenheid en de zoektocht naar betekenis tegen een exotische en inspirerende achtergrond. Het is een aangrijpende verkenning van iemands levensreis.
Tijdens een bergwandeling op Rhodos verdwijnt Heather Mallender spoorloos. Haar metgezel Harry Barnett wordt ervan verdacht haar te hebben vermoord. Om zichzelf vrij te pleiten wil Barnett koste wat het kost de ware toedracht achterhalen. Zijn zoektocht brengt hem in Engeland, waar hij verstrikt raakt in een web van bedrog, verraad, liefde en brute moorden.
Harry Barnett is shocked to learn that he has a son--David Venning, a brilliant mathematician, now languishing in hospital in a diabetic coma. And this is only the first and smallest of the mysteries he is about to encounter. David's condition is attributed to an accident or suicide attempt. But Harry discovers that his mathematical notebooks are missing from the hotel room where he was found and two other scientists employed by the same American forecasting institute have died in suspicious circumstances. Driven on by the slim hope of saving the son he never knew he had, Harry goes in search of the truth and finds himself entangled in several different kinds of conspiracy--none of which he ought to stand the slightest chance of defeating. Harry Barnett was the flawed hero of Robert Goddard's earlier novel, the award-winning Into the Blue. But nothing in that experience prepared him--or the reader--for the baffling conundrums and heart-stopping suspense of Out of the Sun
In this captivating mystery, a group of ex-RAF comrades reunites at a Scottish castle, but tragedy strikes when two members are found dead. Harry Barnett, living a peaceful life in Vancouver, returns to England for his mother’s funeral, only to be drawn into a reunion organized by old acquaintances from his National Service. The gathering marks the fiftieth anniversary of their time spent at the castle, where they participated in a psychological experiment during the war. What begins as a nostalgic trip quickly turns sinister when one comrade appears to commit suicide on their train journey, casting a shadow over their reunion. Upon arriving in Scotland, another death occurs, leaving Harry with a growing sense of dread. As the group reminisces, their differing memories of the past reveal unsettling truths, and unresolved events from 1955 resurface. Determined to uncover the mystery of what transpired decades ago, Harry finds himself entangled in a web of secrets that leads him to believe he may never escape the castle alive.
