For centuries an ancient shipwreck in azure Greek waters has concealed an astonishing truth. The drowning of an underwater cameraman, then the murder of a highly respected academic - seemingly isolated tragedies? When radio talk show host Sammy Greene and ex-cop Gus Pappajohn investigate, they uncover an ancient and modern mystery - conflicts between pagans and saints, archeologists and treasure hunters. From the marble steps of the Parthenon to the peaks of the hidden monasteries of Mount Athos, the two risk their lives in a desperate race to find the lost chapter of human history.

I learned so much about Greece and Greek history presented as part of this novel thriller. It certainly helped that it was part of the Sammy Greene series that I'm already hooked on. While I don't read or speak or understand Greek, there's an exotic draw with hearing or reading these place names.
