Vanessa Gordon. The Meaning of Friday
Отрывок из книги
Vanessa Gordon lives in Surrey and has spent many years working as a concert manager, musicians’ agent and live music supplier. She has visited Greece as often as possible.
The Martin Day mystery series is set on Naxos, the largest island in the Cyclades, Greece. It is an island of contrasts. The modern port of Chora is crowned by a Venetian kastro surrounded by an interesting old town. You can find uninhabited central hills, the highest mountain in the Cyclades, attractive fishing villages, popular beaches, and archaeological sites. There are historic towers and welcoming tavernas, collectable art and ceramics. Naxos has produced some of the finest marble in Greece since ancient times. Now, Martin Day has moved in.

Maurice, my agent in London, thinks he might have a publisher interested in it. Elias’s former partner looks after the small museum and I’ve been in touch with him. I thought you and I could drive over there one day. I’d like to get going on the work as soon as I can. Rumour has it that Elias made one or two discoveries which he didn’t publish, maybe something exciting, who knows? We’ll see.”
