Took me a while to get 'hooked', then I couldn't put the book down! Having experienced life in Cyprus, the references to time, getting things done, who you know, and location references are all real, and not factual. My reading intensified along with the story - wow!

An amazing book to read and I would recommend it 100% to my friends. The book attracted me and I couldn't put it down. The author has clearly brought out the true picture of the story and I can't wait to watch a movie or series of the book. The characters chosen match the story and lessons from the story has also been explained. Its absolutely an outstanding page turner. Good work Myron Edward.

I was prepared for an interesting read, but not for the way the story caught me up and kept me up reading far longer than anticipated. I loved the details and research that went into this story. I could picture the scenes as if watching a movie. I will be lending this book to all my friends! Warning, once this book grabs you, you won’t want to put it down!
