Description

Everyone wants to build a dream house. What could be better than restoring a picturesque, century-old olive press on a captivating Greek island? Alexis Davidov, teacher at an American school in Athens, soon discovers the trials of house restoration when crude and greedy neighbors harass her in ingenious ways to force her to buy their land. The feud with her neighbors becomes lethal when one of them turns up dead -- his corpse planted near her home to frame her for murder. In jail, Alexis makes up her mind to figure out who's behind the vicious plot. Once freed from jail, she pursues a crime trail that lands her in the clutches of menacing smugglers. She must outwit both the petty criminals who do the dirty work and the powerful Athenian mastermind Desperately needing help in unraveling the conspiracy against her, Alexis turns to Theo Argiros, her Greek Albanian stonemason. Her collaborator on the restoration, Theo evolves from workman to lover. The relationship of Alexis, a foreigner, and Theo, an immigrant, meets with disapproval from many elements of Greek society. That doesn't stop Alexis, who follows her heart to get to the bottom of the story and to make a connection to an unusual human being.
