Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Follow the sun. Live the dream. Before you die. There are ten bodies buried in the mountains on the Greek island of Kolasios. Maybe more. Callum should know. He put them there. Callum, however, has recently been a little distracted. Ex-Pat is the ferocious and first-hand account of one man's brutal rampage across a chaotic land. Callum and his wife have moved from London to Kolasios. It is an elemental place. In the summer it is almost too hot to breathe. In the winter the island is battered by violent winds and murderous storms. The weather and isolation can play strange tricks on the mind. There are no eyes in the sky over Kolasios. There are no satellites, no rocket ships, no ray-guns and no laser beams. The island is unmapped and submerged deep out of sight as the busy world which Callum has left behind speeds through space chasing fortune and fury. There is just a gaping hole above Kolasios through which all the Greek gods have escaped long ago. Callum is a killer. He has probably always been a killer. These things don't just happen overnight. Certainly both his parents are dead and his cousin is wreaking enough havoc across Eastern Europe to merit headlines around the world. Callum is at war. He is careful and logical. His victims are selected at random and laid to rest in a mountain graveyard overlooking the island's breath-taking scenery. Greece is changing. Paradise is being re-branded by an army of commerce. It is inevitable. The jealous old rogues who have reaped the rewards for so many years will soon be side-lined and forgotten. The new order will sweep through the island like piranhas and locusts. You'd have to be a fool to believe what you read in the brochures. The future of Kolasios belongs to men with vision. Men like Dieter Delbeck. Callum cannot ignore the hearty South African and his ambitious plans to transform acres of ancient land. Plans that would ultimately unearth the ex-pat's ungodly secrets. The situation requires a drastic solution. The fire raged for three days and nights. It was a mistake. Ex-Pat is a macabre and cautionary tale. Driven by fury and humour towards a chilling and unexpected climax, it is an unsettling postcard from an island whose name literally translates as Hell. This item is printed on demand.
