Young Athenian assassin Kharon secretly arrives in Delphi, hoping to rebuild his life among its rolling hills and endless olive groves. But his dark past is too celebrated, and his assassin skills too in demand, for his fate to be left in his own hands. He’s given no choice but to serve the ruthless aims of an international criminal mastermind—an underworld boss who is responsible for Greece’s torrent of counterfeit alcoholic beverages. Kharon is tasked with assassinating those who interfere with the illegal liquor trade, and his methods soon bring death to a member of one of Greece’s most prominent and feared political families. Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of Greece’s Special Crimes Division is drawn into the eye of a political and media firestorm. He and his team soon find themselves battling purveyors of life-threatening adulterated booze, struggling to bring a cold-blooded killer to justice, and laboring to outthink a political chess-master—all without turning themselves and their families into deadly targets. 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.
