“Historical crime writing that virtually reinvents the genre. Ancient Athens is recreated with a masterly touch . . . Philocles is the perfect protagonist.” —Financial Times 443 BC, and, after decades of war with Persia, peace has finally come to Athens. The city is being rebuilt, and commerce and culture are flourishing. Aspiring playwright Philocles has come home to find a man with his throat cut slumped against his front gate. Is it just a robbery gone wrong? But, if so, why didn't the thieves take the dead man’s valuables? With the play that could make his name just days away, he must find out who this man is, why he has been murdered—and why the corpse was left in his doorway. But Philocles soon realises he has been caught up in something far bigger, and there are those who don't want him looking any further . . . “Historical writing at its best. Riveting.” —Manda Scott, author of the Boudica series “Superb . . . A fabulous read.” —The Irish Times “If you like C. J. Sansom’s Tudor sleuth Matthew Shardlake, you’ll love this.” —James Wilde, author of Hereward and Pendragon “Great sense of place, terrific characters and a cracking plot.” —Joanne Harris, The New York Times–bestselling author of Chocolat “As vivid and lively as a Greek wedding--but with rather more blood!” —Val McDermid, author of the Kate Brannigan Mysteries “It's about time someone did for ancient Athens what Lindsey Davis’ Falco novels do for Ancient Rome.” —Jack Grimwood, author of Moskva “An enjoyable debut with a strong historical setting.” —The Times

For almost ten years, Athenians have bowed to their Spartan overlords, but there is a glimmer of hope for the once mighty city. Lysander has been humbled and his power greatly diminished. Spartan forces are spread thin across the Aegean and Sparta itself has grown decadent with the wealth and power of empire. Thrasybulus, strategos and first citizen of Athens, deems that the time for rebellion has come. But first, Daimon, Thrasybulus' most trusted agent, must accompany a secret shipment of Persian gold to Athens, money that will convince reluctant cities such as Thebes to join Thrasybulus in his uprising against Sparta. But enemies, known and hidden, seek to thwart Daimon at every turn, and only with old friends and unexpected allies can Daimon accomplish his mission. The fate of Greece hangs in the balance.

The challenge of Periclean Athens to the students of civilizations is unmistakable: the city and its empire reached a level of culture and well-being scarcely paralleled in the history of man elsewhere. And like the characters in a Greek tragedy, the city and its leaders and citizens were busy in their time of glory making provision for their own tragic decline. "I have tried to suggest in general terms," says the author, "the meaning of Periclean Athens, addressing my interpretation to laymen. . . With the increasing mass of specialized research on ancient Athens, it is imperative to catch a general notion of the significance of the whole. . . The result is a picture of a complex society, as any great civilization is bound to be, with its magnificent achievements and its faults." This first volume in The Centers of Civilization Series does indeed give a clear picture of Athenian civilization, its literature, philosophy, and political and judicial writing; its painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and drama; and even the arts of war. Above all, the book suggests to modern readers the supreme importance of decision in all of man's affairs, and the frightful consequences of wrong decision, once it is made.
