They simply have a habit of finding her.

A breathtaking Santorini sunset.
An assignment that doesn’t go quite as planned.
Pippa Rafferty arrives in Santorini with an assignment to complete. But when the unexpected happens, she discovers that even the world’s most beautiful destinations can hide long-buried secrets.
Meet Kat
Travel has always been about more than ticking destinations off a list.
It's about the conversations over dinner that last for hours. The tiny cafés you stumble across by accident. The locals who tell you where to watch the sunset. The moments you almost miss because everyone else is looking somewhere else.
That curiosity is where Pippa Rafferty began.
I wanted to write mysteries in which the place matters just as much as the puzzle — stories that let you disappear somewhere beautiful for a while, even when something has gone decidedly wrong.
