But when crooked developers take over the island and the value of the land soars, he is persuaded through unscrupulous means to sign away his interest. Hours later he meets a violent, lonely death. When detective Hermes Diaktoros finds his friends battered body by a dusty roadside, the police quickly name him the prime suspect. But with rapacious developers threateningArcadias most ancient sites, many stand to gain from Gabriliss death. Hermes resolves to avenge his old friend and find the true culprit, but his methods are, as ever, unorthodox.
