Hearts of Stone: A gripping historical thriller of World War II and the Greek resistance
Simon Scarrow
The fierce courage of the men and women of the Greek Resistance is brought to vivid life inSunday Times
bestseller Simon Scarrow's powerful novel of World War II. 'Gripping...
[a] moving narrative of friendships broken by war and betrayal'Sunday Times1938.
A perfect summer on the Greek island of Lefkas for three young people
untroubled by the simmering politics of Europe. Peter, visiting from
Germany while his father leads an archaeological dig, has become close
friends with locals Andreas and Eleni. As the world slides towards
conflict and Peter is forced to leave, they swear to meet again.1943:
Andreas and Eleni have joined the partisan forces resisting the German
invasion. Peter has returned - now a dangerously well-informed enemy
intelligence officer. A friendship formed in peace will turn into a
desperate battle between enemies sworn to sacrifice everything for the
countries that they love...'Simon Scarrow has done
it again: another barnstorming book that speaks not only of the horror
of war, but the ultimate heroism and self-sacrifice of those caught up
in it. The glory of Simon's books is that they can be read on so many
levels: yes, they are thrilling in its truest sense, there are
characters we care about deeply and they are under constant threat. But
alongside this are the vignettes of a life clearly viewed, the threads
of sharp social observation that set his historical thrillers apart from
the greater mass.' Manda Scott
