In ancient Athens, the great philosopher applies logic to a lethal crimeâin the âeminently enjoyableâ first novel in a historical mystery series (Colin Dexter, author of the Inspector Morse Mysteries). Young Stephanos is desperate to save his familyâs honor by proving in the Athenian court that his exiled cousin is not guilty of shooting an arrow into a prominent patrician. For help, he turns to his old teacherâthe cunning and clever thinker known as Aristotle. It will all lead up to a tense public trial in which Stephanos must draw on the rhetorical skills heâs learned from his eccentric, brilliant mentor, in this novel filled with suspense, humor, and historical detailâthe first in a series of âwitty, elegant whodunitsâ (Times Literary Supplement). â[An] unusually authentic Ancient-Greece murder tale.ââKirkus Reviews âDoody brings the Athens of 322 BC to life with skill and verveâ¦wonderfully plotted.ââPublishers Weekly
