On the celebrated and upcoming Greek island of Mykonos, a legendary nightclub owner is found savagely bludgeoned to death in his home. All evidence points to the killers being thugs, but the murder puts long-hidden, politically explosive secrets in play and draws a dangerous foreign investor to the island paradise.

Feared head of Greece’s Special Crimes Division Andreas Kaldis is certain there’s a far more complex motive for the murder than simple robbery, one that will be found among ruthless opportunists who’ve come to prey on his country’s weakened financial condition.

But Kaldis soon learns there is a high, unexpected price to pay for his curiosity as he becomes locked in a war with a powerful, clandestine international force willing to do whatever it takes to seize control of Mykonos, no matter the cost or who must die for it.
