Murder at the Agora

A public speech. A sudden collapse. Athens demands silence — he refuses.

Murder at the Agora — book cover

Hook

A fiery voice falls mid-sentence on the bēma. Officials calm the crowd with piety; elders declare Apollo satisfied. But the evidence left in daylight — metal, laurel, and a shard that hisses ΣΙΩΠΑ — points to human hands. Athens can call it fate. Nikandros of Alopeke calls it murder.

What you’ll get

  • A tense, street-level investigation at the birth of democracy.
  • Open-air law and ritual colliding with power and fear.
  • Evidence that matters: curse tablets, a laurel-scented cup, an ostrakon that orders silence.

Why you’ll keep reading

  • Authentic classical worldbuilding with modern propulsion.
  • Philosophy with teeth; politics with consequences.
  • Short, cinematic chapters; a payoff that stings.

PromiseEach book resolves its murder — yet the hidden conspiracy endures and threatens Athens in the following volumes.
Is it historically accurate?
Yes. Procedures, places, and customs are grounded in Classical Athens, written with a modern thriller’s pace.
Do I need Book II or III first?
No. Book I stands alone — and foreshadows the larger design. The immediate mystery is solved; the deeper conspiracy remains.
