The Aphrodite Inheritance

David Collier is called urgently to Cyprus. He is soon involved with the mysterious and beautiful Helene who gives him disturbing news.

Collier's attempt to take Helene's evidence to Inspector Dimas is violently interrupted and he is unable to persuade the Inspector of the truth of what has happened. Later a meeting with his brother's friend, Eric Morrison, is broken up in a frightening way.

Collier stumbles on people he is sure can help him convince Inspector Dimas of his brother's murder. Later the evidence which Helene first produced mysteriously turns up again - and again leads to trouble.

After his violent clash with Collier, Morrison soon finds himself in a desperate situation. Hellman begins to show his hand - and Collier again meets Helene.

Collier unwittingly plays into the hands of Hellman. Meantime, from his hiding place, Morrison arranges to meet a buyer - but the deal goes sadly awry.

Morrison waits to conclude his deal - but he is horrified when the 'buyer' appears. Inspector Dimas is intrigued by what he learns from Collier; later he gets startling news from Morrison's girlfriend.
