Olympia's Dream - Milton Johanides

No 2 in The Cypriot's Treasure series. When her father and twin brother have to run away to save their lives, Olympia is left alone to confront gangsters, Nazis and an international drug haul. The glamorous Hollywood starlet Claudette Taylor is there to assist, but can she be trusted? Growing up fast, Olympia must learn what really matters in life. Fame and fortune, which she believes should be hers by right, seem to elude her and she finds herself instead compelled to look after desperate orphans in impossible conditions. She falls for the son of a criminal warlord but knows he would make a poor match. True love remains in her dreams, but how will she ever meet the right man in the middle of a war? And once entangled in the shenanigans of the gangster family, how can she possibly escape unharmed? Olympia's Dream picks up the tale of the Papayiannises where The Funked-Up Artist leaves off but is a story complete in itself. A heart-stopping romance set against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world where loyalties cannot be taken for granted, every step of Olympia's journey is fraught with peril and disappointment.
