"Thoughtful police procedurals set in picturesque but not untroubled Greek locales" New York Times
"A new Kaldis case is always a treat" Booklist (Starred Review)

Wealthy Greek businessman Dimitris Onofrio is known to be corrupt to the core, but the police have never been able to make his crimes stick. Powerful, influential, and extremely dangerous, Onofrio is not a man to cross, and every witness prepared to come forward against him has died before they could testify.

So when Onofrio's private jet crashes, seemingly with no survivors, the police breathe a sigh of relief - quickly replaced by horror when Onofrio is found alive but catatonic on a remote Ionian beach, beside the body of his beloved wife.

Was the crash an accident . . . or sabotage? Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis, head of Athens' Special Crimes Unit, knows that unless he can discover the truth before Onofrio recovers, the tycoon will be out for bloody revenge on all involved. Including Kaldis' own beloved wife, who is more mixed up in the accident than anyone would ever have suspected . . .
