"[A] suspenseful trip through the rarely seen darker strata of complex, contemporary Greece." ―Publishers Weekly Saint John wrote the apocalyptic Book of Revelation over 1900 years ago in a cave on Greeces eastern Aegean island of Patmos. Today, on the pristine Aegean peninsula of Mount Athos, isolated from the rest of humanity, twenty monasteries sit protecting the secrets of Byzantium amid a way of life virtually unchanged for more than 1500 years. When a revered monk from that holy islands thousand-year-old monastery is murdered in Patmos town square during Easter Week, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of Greeces twenty-first century Special Crimes Division is called upon to find the killer before all hell breaks loose. Andreas impolitic search for answers brings him face-to-face with a scandal haunting the worlds oldest surviving monastic community. He finds that this ancient and sacred refuge harbors some very modern international intrigues that threaten to destroy the very heart of the Church.
