Produktbeschreibung
A murder in the heart of democracy. A young man forced to choose between truth and survival. Athens, 450 BC. The city thrives under the leadership of Pericles, where dazzling orators stir the crowds and the Agora beats as the center of trade, politics, and debate. But when a promising young speaker collapses dead during a public assembly, the air of progress turns to suspicion. Nikandros, son of a grain merchant and a dreamer devoted to philosophy, finds himself drawn into the shadows behind the brilliance. What begins as curiosity soon becomes a perilous search for answers-leading him into the hidden alleys of Athens, through smoky symposiums, and into the very chambers where power is traded in whispers. Was this simply a crime of passion? Or the first move in a conspiracy that threatens to undermine the fragile promise of democracy itself? Murder at the Agora is the gripping first installment of the Athenian Mystery Series, blending historical accuracy with page-turning intrigue. Fans of Steven Saylor, Lindsey Davis, and Robert Harris will discover a new world of suspense, set against the brilliance and corruption of Classical Greece. Truth has a price. And in Athens, that price may be death.

With a background in history and an enduring fascination with the ancient world, Kerr writes mysteries that are as authentic as they are thrilling. His work captures Athens not as a ruin of marble, but as a city alive with voices-where democracy was debated in the Assembly, conspiracies brewed in smoky symposiums, and justice was decided in crowded courts. At the heart of the series is Nikandros, an idealistic investigator whose pursuit of truth pulls him into conflicts of power, betrayal, and moral choice. Through his eyes, readers are invited to explore timeless questions of justice, loyalty, and the human condition. When he is not writing, Adrian Kerr is a passionate traveler and lifelong student of Mediterranean culture. He believes the past is never truly gone-that its lessons, tragedies, and triumphs remain essential to understanding who we are today.
