John Thaw (Inspector Morse, Kavanagh Q.C.) portrays unlikely hero Harry Barnett in this well-crafted mystery. Suddenly single and down on his luck, Harry works as caretaker at the Greek villa of an old friend and former British government minister, Alan Dysart (Matthew Marsh, MI 5). After Harry spends the night with Dysart's guest, Heather Mallender (Abigail Cruttenden, Anna Karenina, Sharpe's), a mystery figure attacks them, Heather disappears "into the blue," and suspicion falls on Harry. Your heart will race as he flees the island for London, hoping to retrace Heather's steps and rescue he ─ if she's still alive. "A good-looking thriller" (The London Sunday Times), filmed on the island of Rhodes and in London. As seen on PBS Mystery!
