“A teasingly complex and suspenseful thriller set in a place where history—ancient or recent—can be a motive for murder.” —Thomas Perry, New York Times–bestselling author of Hero
When the body of a boy from one of Greece’s most prominent families turns up in a dumpster in one of Athens’ worst neighborhoods, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of the Greek Police’s Special Crimes Division is certain there’s a message in the murder. But who sent it and why? Andreas’ search for answers takes him deep into the sordid, criminal side of Athens nightlife and then to the glittering world of Athens society where age-old frictions between old and new money breed jealousy, murder, revenge, revolutionaries, and some very dangerous truths. It is a journey amid ruthless, powerful adversaries that brings Andreas face-to-face with old grudges, new emotions, ancient Athenian practices, and modern political realities once thought unimaginable.
“This is international police procedural writing at its best.” —Booklist, starred review
“[A] suspenseful trip through the rarely seen darker strata of complex, contemporary Greece.” —Publishers Weekly
