Murder at the Agora

By Adrian Kerr

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.
