    The sixth, and final, Cyprus-based espionage thriller novel in the Koniotis Mystery series is played out in the context of the race to either activate or destroy a weapon of mass destruction in the Middle East. UN undersecretary general for security Takis Koniotis and his estranged archaeologist wife, Caitlyn Spenser Koniotis, struggle to come back together through family endangerment and to counter the forces of evil in the eastern Mediterranean.As the cast of surviving characters of the Koniotis mystery series strolls across the stage for the last time in some surprising and interesting combinations and diminishing numbers, once again Cyprus is both the center of Mideast upheaval and the budding hope for regional peace. Takis Koniotis, in his UN security chief role is preparing another Cyprus-based peace conference while also becoming embroiled in a series of explosions on the island that threaten to reopen old Greek versus Turk separatist wounds, and that have deadly repercussions beyond Cyprus. As has happened before, the Koniotis's face challenges on both the regional and family security fronts. But this time they are not facing the dangers in a united front nor are all of those they once counted on for support either on their side or free enough of their own devils to be of much assistance.

    The fifth Cyprus-based espionage thriller novel in the Koniotis Cyprus Mysteries series is played out in the context of a futuristic environment. There has been a peaceful political settlement on Cyprus of the long-running Greek-Turkish issue and much has changed on the now loosely unified Island. In the setting of this new Cyprus UN undersecretary general for security, Takis Koniotis, and his archaeologist wife, Caitlyn Spenser Koniotis, become embroiled in a terrorism-sponsored international counterfeiting campaign to flood the European market with counterfeit currencies.For some years the couple has been living principally in New York City, but Takis finds himself in Cyprus for consultations at the UN's international crimes investigations unit and Caitlyn is here on a lecture tour on ancient archaeology. In a Cyprus now very much under the thumb of RayGo, a corporation constructed around its ownership of a new process for storing solar heat for power generation, and of its CEO, an old friend/foe of the Koniotises, Caitlyn is beset with the counterfeiting issue the moment she steps off the hydrafoil at Limassol. Those behind the conspiracy include any number and combination of both new people entering the Koniotis's lives and old friends and nemeses-some of whom come back into Takis's and Caitlyn's lives by surprise and with a big bang.Koniotis Mysteries SeriesEach book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Laughter's EchoSalted AwayMouflon BrigadeAmathus ArmageddonBogus BillsHomewrecker

    In the third of the Koniotis Mystery series, the kidnapping of the wife of the Russian intelligence chief on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, is only the beginning of a chain of horrifying kidnappings and murders to suddenly hit the usually peaceful island. An operation extending over the border between the Greek and Turkish zones reveals that a band of terrorists is operating freely-and with local assistance-on the island. The subsequent kidnapping of a UN official en route to Middle East peace talks in Beirut, Lebanon, and the murder of other prominent well-connected citizens ups the ante in the threat of the terrorist band and increases the mystery of what the band-the Mouflon Brigade-is doing and why.The kidnaps and murders are linked by the tokens the band leaves behind: Identical brochures from the Cyprus Airways, the Greek Cypriot airline, which are marked with the initials "MB" in black marker.Soon the action extends beyond Cyprus to Greece and Lebanon, as slowly, methodically, Takis Koniotis marshals the forces of the Greek Cypriot, Turkish Cypriot, foreign diplomatic community, UN, and Interpol resources to attempt to rescue Caitlyn and the other hostages and to determine what the terrorist band is doing in Cyprus, why its operations are strategic for Middle East peace-and why it always seems to be at least one step ahead of the authorities.Koniotis Mysteries SeriesEach book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Book One . . . .

    In the fourth espionage thriller novel in the Koniotis Mystery series, UN security official and former Cypriot police official Takis Koniotis and his American archaeologist wife, Caitlyn Koniotis, have settled into a seemingly idyllic life with a new family in a home on a mesa top overlooking the Cypriot capital city and two mountain ranges and within a short drive of Takis's new UN International Crime Investigations Service office. All seems perfect until they become embroiled once again in terrorism and intrigue on both the personal and international levels.The couple and their circle of acquaintances and friends, including some who will pay the ultimate sacrifice, are drawn into the resurfacing of mysteries they thought solved already, starting with the shocking discovery of a mysterious "cave" woman from the past. Overlaying this is Takis's responsibility to set up the security for a coming Middle East peace conference on Cyprus's Amathus resort hotel coast. If successful, the conference will bring the region closer to security and stability than it ever has been. The possibility of this is great enough that the forces promoting and feeding off instability in the region begin to retaliate. Stealing a march on the Amathus conference, they have called their own counter gathering in Malta. And as the two conferences square off against each other, national leaders are threatened and assassinated, assumed loyalties are twisted, and Takis's and Caitlyn's personal nemeses and demons begin to merge into the overall "Armageddon" of the struggle between good and evil in a coalescing spiral into a final accounting.This book is set late last century.Koniotis Cyprus Mysteries Series Each book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Laughter's EchoSalted AwayMouflon BrigadeAmathus ArmageddonBogus BillsHomewrecker

    Caitlyn Spencer is a celebrated American archaeologist known for "visioning" the past and finding archaeology sites to be mined almost as if by magic and for having an unusual affinity for and understanding of the ancient worlds in which she works. When, in the early 1990s, she arrives in Mediterranean Cyprus on a Fulbright scholarship to help excavate the Chalcolithic era site at Kaliana, however, these "visions" become far more than imagination. It's almost as if she has lived there before, in past lives, and has delved into the island's historically rich and significant intrigue.Darker and more sinister even than the visions, a tragedy in her own past revisits her in Cyprus, and she becomes embroiled in drug trafficking and arms dealing. Worse, she has no idea who she can trust . . . and her innocence could cost her her life.Much more than just a mystery romance on a magnificent Mediterranean island, Laughter's Echo yields up a series of thought-provoking déjà vu snapshot visits back into history almost to the beginning of human existence, a fascinating travelogue of a culturally and historically rich civilization, and a conundrum on what to preserve as more important to history than other eras in the history of humankind.The Koniotis Cyprus Mysteries Series -Each book in this series stands alone, but they are also all connected in various ways and form the different parts of one story.Book One . . . .
