New - A Slippery Place

When Maurice Elder returns to Cyprus, where he once taught, he uncovers a network of connections from the time of conflict that had been carefully tidied away. His well-meaning desire to uncover the past unwittingly leads him and others into danger as the truth emerges.

In A Slippery Place, Paul Griffin uses his knowledge and understanding of the recent history of Cyprus to expose some of the difficulties of reconciliation after conflict.

New - A Noisy Isle

Cyprus 1956, and the British Empire is struggling to its inevitable conclusion. Terrorism is in full swing, and the island is full of British troops and the occasional sound of gunfire. Everyone feels threatened.

In the middle of this, a 33-year old veteran of WWII with a young family finds himself learning how to be a headmaster of a multi-cultural school.

Paul Griffin's first-hand account of his time as headmaster has all his usual wit accompanied by perceptive comments on the people and the 'Situation'.
