Thriller Psychological | Suspense
Darcy Arlen, a beautiful young American, is dangerously
bored. Though she's on a very pricey tour of Europe, she's
already sick of museums and ruins, and eager for
distraction. After slipping away from the group one
afternoon, she meets Will, an attractive young drifter who
carries about him the scent of true adventure. Will
invites Darcy back to the hostel where he's been staying and
introduces her to Justine, his darkly seductive lover and
mentor. Justine, a master of the con, senses a grand
opportunity in this amenable blonde. She and Will manage to
turn things so that Darcy not only accompanies them to
Venice, but finances the trip as well. There they meet
Maurice, a shady figure who offers them a job smuggling an
important package to Greece. As the threesome travels
across Europe toward the island of Crete, what unfolds is an
astonishing tale of shifting alliances and shocking
betrayals, of sexual obsession and mercenary enterprise, of
conflicting passions and fateful choices. When the
adventurers finally reach the village of Matala with the
package in hand, they learn that what they have delivered is
more valuable, and the repercussions of their involvement
more terrifying, than they ever could have
imagined. Endlessly surprising and altogether riveting,
Matala is an unforgettable novel about the
intersection of love and ruthlessness.
