Susan Ryeland has now left the publishing world and is living a beautiful life. Together with Andreas, they manage a small hotel on a Greek island. It should be everything she always dreamed of. But is it?

She is tired of trying to make everything work on an island where nothing goes as expected.
Until the arrival of the Trehernes. The strange and mysterious story they tell her about a murder that took place on the same day and in the same hotel where their daughter got married fascinates Susan and sparks her editorial instinct.
One of the authors she worked with, Alan Conway, author of the novel Wild Kisses, knew the victim—named Frank Parris—and even based his third book, The Accidental Witness, on this very crime.

The Trehernes' daughter, reading Conway's novel, realizes that the book proves the person convicted of Parris's murder is innocent. When the Trehernes reveal that their daughter is also missing, Susan understands that she must return to England to find out what really happened.

The Nightshade Murders is a dark and sinister classic English mystery story by the genre's top author, Anthony Horowitz.
