Murder on the Acropolis

2018 | Crime

What happens on the Acropolis of Athens when a wealthy young English woman is murdered on it? How two private detectives, an English man and his Greek colleague, try to unveil the mystery of this murder – and of those following it – in London, Athens and a number of beautiful Greek islands and sights. Finally, for these crimes, what is the role of a second Antikythera mechanism – that is, of another version of the first computer in the history of science through which the ancient Greeks calculated the movements of the stars, the periods of the Olympic Games and time in general? A breathtaking novel, indeed, for demanding readers who prefer adventurous stories combining stormy action with refined humour and challenging questions on some important issues of human behaviour.
