Jeffrey Siger

    Autor se proslavil jako tvůrce napínavých detektivních thrillerů, které se odehrávají v malebných, avšak neklidných řeckých lokalitách. Jeho díla přesahují rámec běžného žánru, protože se ponořují do vážných společenských problémů současného Řecka, přičemž nezapomínají na propojení s bohatou starověkou minulostí země. Styl autora je popisován jako přímý a bez příkras, což čtenářům přináší autentický pohled na zobrazené prostředí a témata. Autorův jedinečný přístup spočívá ve vyprávění příběhů, které jsou nejen poutavé, ale také nutí k zamyšlení nad komplexností moderní společnosti.

      When Athens journalist Nikoletta Elia disappears while on assignment on the island of Naxos, her editor calls on Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis to investigate. The reporter, assigned to report on the effects of rampant tourism on Naxos' culture and agrarian lifestyle, is approached by a fan who takes credit for several suspicious deaths she had written about in the past and suspected to be murders. The assassin claims to have changed his evil ways, but wants Nikoletta to write a series of articles about him and his myriad hits. Kaldis sends his deputy, Yianni, to investigate; then a body (not the journalist's) is found at the base of a cliff. Leads turn into more dead bodies--and finally, threats--before Kaldis finally solves the deadly puzzle.
