Charlie has been unusually quiet lately. Chip keeps finding her curled up in a corner, nose deep in a stack of mysterious pages, occasionally letting out a low, dramatic woof. The reason? A brand-new book has just scampered off the Paw & Pen press — and it’s unlike anything we’ve published before. 🐾
Introducing Ouzo, Olives & Oligarchs — A Cretan Espionage Novel by Zuzana Jureňová.
Some Paradises Are Built. Others Are Bought.
Vivienne Laurent didn’t come to Crete to solve a crime. She came for sea air, silence, and a long-overdue holiday. She brought a book. A hat. And a man she wasn’t officially keeping. Crete had other ideas.
At the centre of a luxury resort built on ancient olive groves, everything has a price — loyalty, influence, even the truth. A sun-drenched novel about power, loyalty, and the cost of protecting what can’t be bought.
Sunlight. Sea. Air. Ancient Roots. Modern Crimes. 🌊
This isn’t just a thriller — it’s an atmosphere. The kind of book you read with a glass of something cool, the sun on your face, wondering who in the room is lying. Zuzana Jureňová weaves Cretan landscapes, old-world intrigue and razor-sharp wit into a story that’s impossible to put down — even for Charlie, who has been known to chew the corners off perfectly good paperbacks.
For the Reader Who Likes a Little Danger With Their Holiday Read 🐾
Whether you’re jet-setting to Crete or dreaming of it from your sofa, Ouzo, Olives & Oligarchs will take you there — with all the intrigue, warmth, and wry humour that makes a truly great escape. A Paw & Pen book with a very grown-up wag.
