DESCRIPTION

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?

Kaldis’ politically incorrect search for answers takes him deep into the sordid, criminal side of Athens and its nightlife and on to the glittering society world of Athens where age-old frictions between new money and old breed jealousy, murder, revenge, revolutionaries, and some very dangerous truths.



REVIEWS

“Siger creates a heady mix of Greek politics and culture, drawing on the ancient practice of banishment, the country’s student revolutionaries, and its notoriously corrupt officials....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

“The discovery of a young murder victim in a dumpster, identifiable only by a ring, leads to the investigation of a conspiracy targeting some of Athens' wealthiest citizens. Stefan Rudnicki's deep voice guides listeners through a twisty procedural, adding grit to the atmosphere of contemporary Greece. He puts an extra measure of humanity into Andreas, the lead investigator, who finds romance even as he plunges deeper into danger. As the noose of the conspiracy tightens, Rudnicki emphasizes the tension felt by the victims, their families, and the police. Jeffrey Siger's eye for detail and Rudnicki's commanding narration keep listeners fascinated.”—AudioFile

“The deep, resonant voice of narrator Stefan Rudnicki fits in perfectly with the tenor of the story, contributing especially well to the Greek accents of the male characters. He successfully attempts to give each character a unique voice, especially the women. Rudnicki has narrated more than a hundred audiobooks, is a Grammy® Award-winning audiobook producer, and received the coveted Audie® Award in 2005. This audiobook will appeal to young adults and adults alike, to anyone who likes suspense in an exotic locale, a fast-paced mystery with many unexpected twists and turns, and who enjoys matching wits with the detective in charge.”—SoundCommentary.com
