Andreas Kaldis, head of Greece's Special Crimes Division, is scheduled to be married—but with two charred corpses and a possible Gypsy clan war to deal with, he may not make it to the altar. Threats abound, from Andreas's politically motivated boss who wants things cleaned up neatly for the international press to a mysterious criminal force known only as the Shepherd. In his fourth series outing (after Prey on Patmos), the tough but engaging Andreas investigates a brutal plan that just may include the heist of one of Greece's most cherished religious icons, the Megalochari. Fast-paced, this thriller also serves as a kind of modern travelog and mini-history lesson on Greece rolled into one.
VERDICT An interesting and highly entertaining police procedural for those who wish to read their way around the globe and especially for those inclined to move away from some of the "chilly" Scandinavian thrillers and into warmer climes. [See Prepub Alert, 3/21/12.]
