For over half a century the beautiful Temple of Apollo has been in the care of the old beekeeper Gabrilis. But when the value of the land soars he is forced to sign away his interests - and hours later he meets a violent, lonely death. When Hermes Diaktoros finds his friend's battered body by a dusty roadside, the police quickly make him the prime suspect. But with rapacious developers threatening Arcadia's most ancient sites, there are many who stand to gain from Gabrilis's death. Our investigator resolves to avenge his old friend and find the true culprit, but his methods are, as ever, unorthodox ...

Very good read - felt very ''Greek'' and would now love my next holiday to be Greece.
Good characters, slightly Hercule Poirot in places and a good read throughout

Congratulations on finding a Bookcrossing book and Happy Reading!!!

I've been doing cooking demonstrations at Bishop Auckland Food Festival on the Broil King BBQ stage. The book was on the stage when I arrived this morning. I left it as I thought it may belong to someone. It was still there hours later. I'm an avid reader so I picked it up and started reading it - love it. I then traveled to Birmingham for another show and carried on reading the book on the train. Arrived at my hotel and then saw the book crossing details. What an amazing and concept. I look forward to finishing and releasing this book for someone else to find. It's a beautiful thing!
