Inside an ancient Greek murder story lives a modern-day mystery . . .
Athens, Ancient Greece. 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 the truth is not so simple. Tramachus, an aspiring student at Plato's academy, shows no signs of having struggled for his life. It soon becomes apparent that someone left him unconscious and ready to die.
Diogoras, Tramachus' tutor at the academy, is determined to discover the dark secrets behind these tragic events. And so he turns to Heracles, known as the "Decipherer of Enigmas", to help unravel the truth. But as their investigations into the young man's murder continue, his death is suddenly not the only mystery to be uncovered.
For 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 . . .
