Reviewed by Jessie Park
Nicolaos is the son of a sculptor in Ancient Greece, during the time when democracy is still young and in danger. The statesman Ephialtes, the father of democracy in Athens, has been murdered and the city is in chaos. Nico has been given a commission by the young politician Pericles to find out who killed Ephialtes. Nico works with Diotima, a virgin priestess of Artemis (much to Nico's chagrin) and occasionally with his often annoying younger brother Socrates. Nico wants to be a politician and sees this commission as his way in but will he even be able to survive the investigation? This is the first of six mysteries in the series by Gary Corby.
