Time is running out with one woman dead and another one missing--a high-stakes Greek adventure introducing Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis.

When hotshot detective Andreas Kaldis is promoted out of Athens to serve as police chief for Mykonos island, he's certain his homicide investigation days are over. Murders don't happen in Greece's tourist heaven. At least, that's what he's thinking as he stares at the remains of a young woman ritually bound and buried on a pile of human bones inside a remote mountain church. Then he starts finding bodies, bones, and suspects everywhere he looks. It's Greece's most unimaginable nightmare, one no politician wants to confront--a serial killer loose in paradise.

Teaming up with the canny, nearly-retired local homicide chief, Kaldis knows he must find the killer before the media attention can destroy the Greek island's fabled reputation.

But then another young woman disappears, and political niceties no longer matter. With the investigation now a rescue operation, Kaldis finds himself plunged into ancient myths and forgotten island places, racing against a killer intent on claiming a new victim.

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!
