<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The case begins for Athens' Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis with a literal bang when a corrupt former police colonel who runs a protection racket on Mykonos is gunned down. Suddenly, Athens' Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis is face-to-face with Greece's top crime bosses on an island whose natural beauty and reputation as an international playground belies the corruption lurking just beneath the surface. While Andreas and his Special Crimes unit wrestle for answers, Andreas's wife, Lila, meets an American expat named Toni, a finder of stolen goods and a piano player in a gender-bending bar who has a zest for life and no apparent regard for rules. As Lila and Toni bond over a common desire to mentor young island girls trapped in an exploitative and patriarchal culture, they soon find that their efforts to improve the lives of the Greek girls they've come to care about intersect with Andreas' investigation in ways that prove to be dangerous for all involved.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Book #9 in the Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis Mysteries, following <i>An Aegean April</i></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An entertaining read...Good for fans of Louise Penny's "Armand Gamache" and Mark Pryor's "Hugo Marston" series.<br>" - <strong><em>Library Journal</em></strong><br><br>"Once more Jeff Siger has penned an excellent mystery that has so much going for it.
