Owls Hunt at Night

The death of the famous writer Alan Conway marked the end of Susan Ryland's editorial career. Now she runs a hotel on the shores of the Aegean Sea, but not very successfully—she is catastrophically low on money. Bored with the hustle and bustle of London, Susan contemplates escaping from this paradise, and it seems that fate itself is offering her a chance. An English couple reaches out to Ryland for help, promising to pay well. Their daughter has disappeared, having confessed to her parents that she found the key to solving a bloody crime committed eight years ago in Suffolk within the pages of Conway's detective novel... It turns out that Susan was the editor of this book series. Will she be able to unravel the intricacies of the author's thoughts? Miss Ryland urgently heads to England, experiencing the true excitement of a detective, and it doesn't immediately occur to her that one cannot stir up the secrets of the past with impunity. But this becomes obvious when deadly danger looms over her...
