Athens 332 BC - a city uneasy under the sway of the Macedonian Alexander the Great, now fighting he King of Persia for control of the East. In this time of fresh ambition and furtive discontent, an eminent citizen is brutally murdered.
Young Philemon, an exile formerly guilty of manslaughter is accused of the bizarre homicide. IN his absence his cousin and nearest male relative, 23-year-old Stephanos, must conduct Philemon's defence and attempt to clear his family's name of this bloody murder.
Stephanos seeks help from Aristotle, his former teacher...and Aristotle turns Detective.
Why did no one think of this before? - THE TIMES
Wit in a first novel is rare enough, and when allied to the skilful unravelling of a murder story set in Ancient Athens it makes us doubly grateful for Aristotle Detective - DAILY TELEGRAPH
Eminently enjoyable - COLIN DEXTER
