'A ROLLICKING ROMP THROUGH ANCIENT ATHENS, WITH CAPTIVATING CHARACTERS AND ENGROSSING, SUSPENSE-FILLED TURNS . . . GARY CORBY HAS NOT ONLY MADE GREEK HISTORY ACCESSIBLE – HE'S MADE IT FIRST-RATE ENTERTAINMENT.' - Kelli Stanley, award-winning author of Nox Dormienda and City of Dragons Athens, 461BC. A dead man falls from the sky, landing at the feet of a surprised Nicolaos. It doesn't normally rain corpses. This one is the politician Ephialtes, who only days before had turned Athens into a democracy. Rising young statesman Pericles commissions Nicolaos to find the assassin. Nico walks the mean streets of Classical Athens in search of a killer, but what's really on his mind is how to get closer - much closer - to Diotima, an intelligent and annoyingly virgin priestess, and how to shake off his irritating twelve year old brother, Socrates . . . 'Classical Athens, a time of bustling rivalry, artistic genius and dramatic events, are all superbly captured in this exciting saga of flesh and blood characters who jostle and fight, love and hate as they approach the climax of murderous intrigue.' PC Doherty, bestselling author of The Ancient Roman Mysteries
