Under Orion

by Andrew Wilton

Kenneth Diamond doesn't know why he's been summoned to a remote island in the grip of a police state. He guesses it's because he is the only person who can authenticate a work of art that could be hugely valuable to the government. He wants to be polite to his hosts - but doesn't want to become entangled in their murderous politics. He was warned before he left 'Don't get involved'. But after he meets a young islander, and stumbles on what he believes is a way to help an impoverished parish, he finds himself hopelessly involved, with disastrous consequences.
