But who sent it and why? Andreas' search for answers takes him deep into the sordid, criminal side of Athens nightlife and then to the glittering world of Athens society where age-old frictions between old and new money breed jealousy, murder, revenge, revolutionaries, and some very dangerous truths. It is a journey amid ruthless, powerful adversaries that brings Andreas face-to-face with old grudges, new emotions, ancient Athenian practices, and modern political realities once thought unimaginable.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...international police procedural writing at its best. <b>(starred review)</b>-- "<b><i>Booklist</i></b>"<br><br>Jeffrey Siger's <i>Assassins of Athens</i> is a teasingly complex and suspenseful thriller....Siger and his protagonist, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis, are getting sharper and surer with each case.-- "<b>Thomas Perry, best-selling author</b>"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Jeffrey Siger was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, practiced law at a major Wall Street law firm, and later established his own New York City law firm where he continued as one of its name partners until giving it all up to write full-time among the people, life, and politics of his beloved Mykonos. <em>The Mykonos Mob</em> is the tenth novel in his internationally best-selling and award nominated Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis series, following up on <em>An Aegean April</em>, <em>Santorini Caesars</em>, <em>Devil in Delphi</em>, <em>Sons of Sparta</em>, <em>Mykonos After Midnight</em>, <em>Target: Tinos</em>, <em>Prey on Patmos</em>, <em>Assassins of Athens</em>, and <em>Murder in Mykonos</em>.</p><p><em>The New York Times</em> described Jeffrey Siger's novels as thoughtful police procedurals set in picturesque but not untroubled Greek locales, and named him as Greece's thriller writer of record. <em>The Greek Press</em> called his work prophetic, Eurocrime described him as a very gifted American author...on a par with other American authors such as Joseph Wambaugh or Ed McBain, and the City of San Francisco awarded him its Certificate of Honor citing that his acclaimed books have not only explored modern Greek society and its ancient roots but have inspired political change in Greece.
