The Mysteries of the Greek Detective Series - Book 3
The Doctor of Thessaly
“Zouroudi’s latest mystery brings the Hellenic vibe tantalisingly close…The plot works well, but more diverting still is Zouroudi’s atmospheric portrait of this austerely beautiful backwater.”
Independent (London)
A jilted bride weeps on an empty beach. A local doctor is attacked in an isolated churchyard. Trouble arrives at a bad time to the backwater village of Morfi, just as the community is making headlines with a visit from a high-ranking government minister. Fortunately, where there’s trouble, there’s Hermes Diaktoros, the mysterious fat man whose tennis shoes are always pristine and whose investigative methods are always unorthodox. Hermes must investigate a brutal crime, thwart the petty machinations of the town’s ex-mayor and his cronies, and try to settle the troubled waters of two sisters’ relationship. But how can he unravel a mystery that not even the victim wants solved?
