A compelling historical crime novel set in the Greek diaspora of 1950s London β that's inspired by a true story β The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou is perfect for fans of Sara Collins, Eve Chase and Jessie Burton.
They say she's a murderer. She says nothing.
London, 1954. Eva Georgiou has just returned from her shift at the glamorous CafΓ© de Paris, when sheβs summoned to her second job: Greek interpreter for the Metropolitan Police. There, she is tasked with representing Zina Pavlou, a Cypriot woman who has been accused of the brutal murder of her daughter-in-law who has been bludgeoned, strangled and then set alight.
Eva gets to work as Zinaβs translator, but her concern grows that the case may be more complicated than it seems. Then Zina changes everything when she reveals sheβs been accused of murder once before, years ago in Cyprus.
While Evaβs obsession with the case deepens, so does her bond with Zina. And soon she will discover that when you lend your voice to an accused murderer, it comes at a devastating cost...M.F
