_______________________

A holy Easter holiday is rocked by the most unholy murder of a revered monk--Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis must dive deep into Greece's ancient history to solve the modern-day crime and prevent international disaster.

When a revered monk is brutally murdered in the town square on the Holy Island of Patmos during Easter Week, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of Greece's Special Crimes Division is called upon to find the killer before all hell breaks loose--in a manner of speaking, for Patmos is the island where Saint John wrote the apocalyptic Book of Revelation.

The investigation leads Kaldis to a place where twenty monasteries sit protecting the secrets of Byzantium amid a way of life virtually unchanged for 1500 years--a site of long-simmering religious feuds.

Kaldis' search for answers brings him face-to-face with a scandal haunting the world's oldest surviving monastic community. It turns out this ancient and sacred refuge harbors modern international intrigues that threaten to destroy the very heart of the Church . . .

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!

About the author

Jeffrey Siger is an American living on the Aegean Greek island of Mykonos. A former Wall Street lawyer, he gave up his career as a name partner in his own New York City law firm to write the international bestselling, award-recognized Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis series of mystery thrillers telling more than just a fast-paced story.

The New York Times described his novels as "thoughtful police procedurals set in picturesque but not untroubled Greek locales" and named him as Greece's thriller novelist of record. Athens Insider Magazine hails him as "a literary star," the Greek government selected him as the only American author writing novels serving as a guide to Greece, and Reader's Digest calls him "one of our new favorite authors."

Jeffrey Siger has also served as Chair of the National Board of Bouchercon, America's largest mystery convention, and as Adjunct Professor of English at Washington & Jefferson College, teaching mystery writing.
