Homewrecker

The sixth, and final, Cyprus-based espionage thriller novel in the Koniotis Mystery series is played out in the context of the race to either activate or destroy a weapon of mass destruction in the Middle East. UN undersecretary general for security Takis Koniotis and his estranged archaeologist wife, Caitlyn Spenser Koniotis, struggle to come back together through family endangerment and to counter the forces of evil in the eastern Mediterranean.

As the cast of surviving characters of the Koniotis mystery series strolls across the stage for the last time in some surprising and interesting combinations and diminishing numbers, once again Cyprus is both the center of Mideast upheaval and the budding hope for regional peace. Takis Koniotis, in his UN security chief role is preparing another Cyprus-based peace conference while also becoming embroiled in a series of explosions on the island that threaten to reopen old Greek versus Turk separatist wounds, and that have deadly repercussions beyond Cyprus. As has happened before, the Koniotis’s face challenges on both the regional and family security fronts. But this time they are not facing the dangers in a united front nor are all of those they once counted on for support either on their side or free enough of their own devils to be of much assistance.
