ThenAndy’s father, Michael, receives a letter out of the blue saying that John haddied only a few weeks ago in Crete, leaving a box of important papers for hisson to collect. Michael is shattered to learn that his father had been alivefor decades after the War, but had never contacted his family back home. Andy,a Greek speaker, goes to Crete to collect the box and finds that it containsJohn’s wartime journal.  The journal not only exposes theruthless political manoeuvring that shaped the island’s wartime fate but alsopoints to a long-buried treasure hidden deep within the White Mountains,secrets that, even decades later, some are willing to kill to protect.
