The Aphrodite Conspiracy

Matthew Palmer's perfect world is about to be shot to pieces - literally.

A millionaire's wife goes missing in Cyprus and Englishman Matthew Palmer is in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong girl...
A chance meeting with the beautiful and elusive Katherina has him following her out to sea and one hundred and fifty feet down into one of the world's most dangerous wrecks in the dead of night. Barely surviving an attack by barracuda and then having to rescue the trapped girl from the depths of the dead ship draws on every ounce of skill and plunges Matthew headlong into a bloody conspiracy of extortion, kidnapping and murder.

Left with nothing but his life and deported as a suspect, he returns to the UK to track down the source of his humiliation. Under the tanned and easygoing exterior Matthew's need for revenge festers like an unexploded grenade and at thirty thousand feet over the French Alps on the night flight home a would-be assassin pulls the pin...

"Mike Lawrence's premiere novel moves along at a cracking breakneck pace, a real page turner that puts recent James Bond novels to shame. It should be stocked at all airport bookshops as the ideal holiday read."
