_______________________

After a murder close to home, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis and his right-hand man face unexpected enemies in rural Greece--think The Godfather as a descendant of the Spartan 300!

Detective Yiannis Kouros of Greece's Special Crimes Division is summoned by his uncle to come to the Mani--a region at the tip of the mountainous Peloponnese, peopled with families who live by their own code of honor, have a history of endless blood feuds, and are rumored to be descendants of ancient Sparta.

Kouros' uncle once headed the Mani's most significant criminal enterprise, and he fears his loyalty to his boss, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis, is about to be tested. But instead, Kouros learns the family is about to become rich through the sale of its property--until his uncle is killed, and so too the deal.

Acting swiftly to head off a new cycle of violence, Kouros solves the murder--or so it seems. But back in Athens, Kaldis' probe into deeply entrenched government corruption leads straight back to the Mani. Both detectives must confront a host of unexpected twists, unanticipated players, unanswered questions--and people yet to die.

With its gorgeous Greek locations, engaging characters, and fast-paced plotting, this critically acclaimed international crime series is an excellent pick for fans of DONNA LEON, LOUISE PENNY, MARTIN WALKER, and DAVID HEWSON. Find out why The New York Times named Jeffrey Siger as Greece's thriller novelist of record today!
