The Messenger of Athens

'I'd like to see the body as soon as possible,' said the fat man. 'Then I can get on with my investigation.'
The Chief of Police considered for a moment, then spread his hands. 'She was buried yesterday,' he said. 'There was no reason to delay. The death was not suspicious in any way.'

When the battered body of a young woman is discovered on a remote Greek island, the local police are quick to dismiss her death as an accident. Then a well-dressed stranger arrives - uninvited - from Athens, announcing his intention to investigate further. His methods are unorthodox, and he brings his own mystery into the web of dark secrets and lies. Who has sent him? On whose authority is he acting? And how does he know of dramas played out decades ago?
