Murder in Mykonos
When politically incorrect, hotshot detective Andreas Kaldis is promoted out of Athens to serve as police chief for Greece's island paradise of Mykonos, he's certain his homicide days are over. Murders don't happen in tourist heaven; at least that's what he's thinking as he stares at the remains of a young woman found ritually bound and buried on a pile of human bones inside a remote mountain church. Just when it seems things can't get any worse, bodies, bones, and suspects start turning up almost everywhere he looks-and another victim disappears. With his investigation suddenly a rescue operation, Andreas finds himself plunging into ancient myths and forgotten island places in a race toward a shattering finale.
"Jeffrey Siger sees Mykonos through the eyes of a tourist and as a resident for 25 years. But most of all he looks at the island as a writer, crafting a tale of intrigue and suspense against a scenic background.
His knowledge of the terrain is matched by his love for the people and all their quirks… Murder in Mykonos is a hugely enjoyable read. Both disturbing and compelling, it delivers colorful, creepy fun through characters you hope will be back for many more books."
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Murder in Mykonos will be available right after Easter 2008 throughout Greece in all the major bookstores
Biography
JEFFREY SIGER was born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He received degrees in political science and biology from Washington and Jefferson College, and in law from Boston College Law School (together with the academic honor, Order of the Coif).
He began practicing law at a major Wall Street law firm. While there, he helped establish New York City's leading organization for private-practice lawyers seeking to volunteer for public service, and served as Special Counsel to the citizens group responsible for reporting on New York City's prison conditions.
His investigation into a politically charged suicide in one of its jails resulted in a report The New York Times covered as its lead, front page story, and Newsweek magazine called the greatest example of the newest form of unofficial art, the Investigative Report.
He left Wall Street to join his own New York City law firm. There he continued as one of its name partners-litigating high-stakes society scandals and other delicate public and private matters of domestic and international consequence-until giving it all up to write full-time among the people, life, and politics of his beloved Mykonos, and spearfish in its Aegean waters.
In this, his debut novel, he paints a vivid portrait of his adopted island of twenty-five years as the backdrop for his satisfyingly complex plot. His other home is a farm outside New York City.
