Táto séria sleduje osudy stredoškolského anglického správcu v Grécku. Jeho život sa točí okolo neočakávaných udalostí a hlbokých medziľudských vzťahov. Príbehy skúmajú témy identity, spolupatričnosti a hľadania zmyslu na exotickom a inšpiratívnom pozadí. Je to dojímavé rozprávanie o jednom mužovi a jeho ceste životom.
Harry Barnett is a middle-aged failure, leading a shabby existence in the shadow of a past disgrace, reduced to caretaking a friend's villa on the island of Rhodes. When a young woman guest disappears he is placed under suspicion of murder.
Harry Barnett is shocked to learn that he has a son--David Venning, a brilliant mathematician, now languishing in hospital in a diabetic coma. And this is only the first and smallest of the mysteries he is about to encounter. David's condition is attributed to an accident or suicide attempt. But Harry discovers that his mathematical notebooks are missing from the hotel room where he was found and two other scientists employed by the same American forecasting institute have died in suspicious circumstances. Driven on by the slim hope of saving the son he never knew he had, Harry goes in search of the truth and finds himself entangled in several different kinds of conspiracy--none of which he ought to stand the slightest chance of defeating. Harry Barnett was the flawed hero of Robert Goddard's earlier novel, the award-winning Into the Blue. But nothing in that experience prepared him--or the reader--for the baffling conundrums and heart-stopping suspense of Out of the Sun
In this captivating mystery, a group of ex-RAF comrades reunites at a Scottish castle, but tragedy strikes when two members are found dead. Harry Barnett, living a peaceful life in Vancouver, returns to England for his mother’s funeral, only to be drawn into a reunion organized by old acquaintances from his National Service. The gathering marks the fiftieth anniversary of their time spent at the castle, where they participated in a psychological experiment during the war. What begins as a nostalgic trip quickly turns sinister when one comrade appears to commit suicide on their train journey, casting a shadow over their reunion. Upon arriving in Scotland, another death occurs, leaving Harry with a growing sense of dread. As the group reminisces, their differing memories of the past reveal unsettling truths, and unresolved events from 1955 resurface. Determined to uncover the mystery of what transpired decades ago, Harry finds himself entangled in a web of secrets that leads him to believe he may never escape the castle alive.
