Description

"When the body of a young man is discovered on the slopes of Mount Lycabettus, it is initially assumed that a pack of wolves is responsible for his death. But Tramachus, an aspiring student at Plato"s academy, has been murdered and Heracles, known as the "Decipherer of Enigmas", is called in to help unravel the truth. Meanwhile, in the footnotes of The Athenian Murders, a second story is emerging. The modern-day translator realises that there is a message hidden in the images of the original narrative. And the more he translates, the more the clues pull together to reveal an astonishing truth, one that bears an eerie resemblance to his own life . . ."
