Über den Autor: Adrian Kerr

Adrian Kerr is the creator of the Athenian Mysteries Series, transporting readers into the intrigue, passion, and peril of Classical Athens. His novels weave together meticulous historical research and page-turning suspense, bringing to life the age of Pericles and Socrates with all its brilliance—and all its shadows. 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. For fans of historical mysteries filled with vivid atmosphere, philosophical depth, and unforgettable characters, the Athenian Mysteries Series offers a journey into the Golden Age of Greece—where every secret has a price, and every truth carries a danger.

Beschreibung

Murder at the Agora (An Athenian Mystery, Book 1)
Athens, 451 BC. The city is alive with debate, ambition, and the fragile promise of democracy. But when a gifted young orator collapses and dies in the midst of a public speech, the dream of freedom is stained with blood.

Meet Nikandros
The son of a grain merchant, Nikandros believes in the new order of democracy, where truth and reason can shape the destiny of the polis. Yet as he seeks answers, he is pulled into a world of rival factions, hidden loyalties, and dangerous secrets. What begins as a single crime soon reveals a network of intrigue reaching beyond Athens itself.

A City on Edge
The Agora—the beating heart of Athenian life—is filled with voices, markets, and rumors. But beneath the marble stoas and crowded stalls lies a darker truth: every speech has a price, every vote can be bought, and every ideal has an enemy. To uncover the murderer, Nikandros must risk his friends, his family, and even his own faith in democracy.
