A missing archaeologist, a vanished woman, and Ithaca’s buried past
Set on the Greek island of Ithaca, Aphrodite’s Smile links Robert French’s search for his missing archaeologist father with Alex’s investigation into her grandmother’s wartime exile. Their separate questions converge around a long-sought ancient treasure and the events of the Second World War, turning the island’s apparent calm into the backdrop for a disappearance and a deeper reckoning with family history. Classical myth, archaeology, and more recent historical trauma sit alongside Robert’s effort to confront the relationships and personal history shaping his search.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Readers of romantic suspense set in Greek locations
- Fans of mysteries involving archaeology and ancient treasures
- Readers interested in fiction connecting Second World War history with family secrets

A novel of romantic suspense, set on the beautiful Greek island of Ithaca, from the author of STILL WATER and THE SNOW FALCON.
When Robert French travels to the Greek island of Ithaca after his archaeologist father goes missing, he meets Alex, a young woman in search of her roots and the truth about her grandmother's exile from the island sixty years earlier. Gradually it seems possible that there is a link between an ancient treasure that Robert's father spent many years searching for and the tragic events surrounding Alex's grandmother during the Second World War.
But the beautiful tranquillity of the island is deceptive. Suddenly Alex vanishes, and Robert is embroiled in a desperate search, for the woman and for the solution that had evaded his father. To find the truth he must come to understand his own past and learn to face the troubled relationships that have dominated his life.
Atmospheric, tense and compelling, this blend of classical myth with ancient and recent history creates a memorable and thrilling novel.
