Book details

Book description

It is winter in the mountains of Greece and as the snow melts in the

tiny village of Vrisi a body is discovered lying by the side of the

road.

In the same village, watched over by the shrine

of St Fanourios (the patron saint of lost things) a coffin is unearthed

and broken open, revealing some very unexpected remains to the

astonished mourners.

Hermes Diaktoros, drawn to Vrisi

on an affair of the heart, finds himself embroiled in the mysteries of

both the dead body and the coffin, as well as the enigmatic last will

and testament of Greece's most admired modern

poet.

The Whispers of Nemesis is a

story of desperate measures and dark secrets, of murder and immortality

and of pride coming before the steepest of falls. Anne Zouroudi was born in England and has lived in the Greek islands.

Her attachment to Greece remains strong, and the country is the

inspiration for much of her writing. She now lives in the Derbyshire

Peak District with her son. She is the author of four other Mysteries of

the Greek Detective: The Messenger of Athens

(shortlisted for the ITV3 Crime Thriller Award for Breakthrough Authors

and longlisted for the Desmond Elliot Prize), The Taint of

Midas , The Doctor of Thessaly and

The Lady of Sorrows .
