"The Land of Olives and Lemons" is the tenth volume in my book series "The Right People".
In the winter of 1973, Tom is kidnapped by Melinda, an ex-agent of the East German secret police. While Tom's friends, led by Nikos, try to rescue him, Melinda forces Tom to drive her to the American Embassy in Bonn, and then releases him. No sooner have they survived this adventure than Tom and his friends, after a brief stopover in Libya, are sent to Cyprus where they are to find out who is behind the constant killings of Turkish Cypriots, which are destabilizing the country. In doing so, they come dangerously close to the EOKA-B terrorists, who, as it turns out, are being controlled by the Athens junta. The aim of the Greek regime is to have a pretext for annexing the island. A war between Turkey and Greece seems imminent.
I would like to point out once again that this book is fiction, albeit based on intensive research into the historical context. All persons, including officials appearing in the book, as well as the plot, are fictitious.
New chapters will be published every Saturday.
