Assassins Of Athens

Another fast, page-turning, police procedural, from Jeffrey Siger . . . This well plotted story just speeds along and captures very vividly the Greek way of life when we can just imagine how difficult it must be to find the time to coolly think and identify the facts and other leads when it's so hot and humid that it is sometimes hard to breathe. Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis is a superb creation * Eurocrime *
This is international police procedural writing at its best and should be recommended, in particular, to readers who enjoy Leighton Gage's Brazilian police stories (Buried Strangers, 2009) or Hakan Nesser's Swedish inspector Van Veeteren (Borkmann's Point, 2006) * Jessica Moyer, Booklist online *
