Forth Into Light (The Peter & Charlie Trilogy) - Plot & Excerpts
A theft on this tranquil Greek island where thievery was unheard of! The two thousand dollars George had been waiting for for weeks! Exclamation points could be heard in all the voices commenting on the event. A case might have been made that the money had simply been lost, but public opinion among the foreigners was formulated around tables set out on the quai in front of Lambraiki’s grocery store and the foreigners pronounced in favor of theft. A suspect was quickly found. There had been other small vexing losses—or thefts, as everybody was inclined to regard them now—and the facts could be neatly arranged to point to only one possible culprit. A Greek, naturally. The case immediately acquired curious and unexpected dimensions. To a not notably well-heeled community, it was a great deal of money. In that summer of 1960, it was enough to buy three or four houses on the island, enough for a foreign family to live for six or eight months, a native family for a year or more. In addition, Leighton was arguably the most distinguished foreigner in residence and certainly the most permanently established.
