**_Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis must figure out the murder of a wealthy teenage boy in this_ Miami Vice_\-paced mystery set in contemporary_ Great Gatsby_\-like Athens._**

When the body of a teenage boy from one of Greece's most prominent families turns up in a dumpster in one of Athens' sketchier 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?

His search for answers takes him deep into the sordid, criminal side of Athens nightlife--as well as the glittering world of Athens high society, where age-old frictions between old and new money breed jealousy, revolutionaries, and some very dangerous truths.

Kaldis' journey, amid ruthless and powerful adversaries, will bring him face-to-face with old grudges, ancient Athenian practices, and political realities once thought unimaginable.

**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!**
