Ray White 
Legacy of Vounos 

This book begins with the history of Cyprus from the Bronze Age to the present day and uses hypothetical events during the ages and its occupations. A retired couple decides to live in what is now called The Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus. Ray is a retired mining engineer and his wife, Chantel, a technical translator. Ray becomes fascinated with a large earth mound on the slopes of the Kyrenia Mountains which, according to the locals, was an ancient burial site called Vounos. He could not ignore the fact that their neighbour spent hours looking through a powerful telescope from his balcony towards Kyrenia Harbour and the Turkish mainland. The couple decides to visit the disused Cyprus copper mine located west of the island near Lefka, not aware of being investigated by MI6 agents who had already bugged their villa. They decide to visit the old mine again to observe a sophisticated drilling rig being used for illicit oil and gas exploration only to be discovered, apprehended, interrogated and tortured. What will be consequences they have to bear for their actions?
