Archaeologist Martin Day, who lives on the Greek island of Naxos, receives a visit from Edward Childe, an old Englishman with a passion for ancient Greek marble and an energetic love of life. Edward tells the story of a beautiful Greek girl called Artemis who was his first love. He has never forgotten her and is very excited that he is about to meet a young woman who says she is her granddaughter. The old man is full of happy anticipation, so when he appears to have committed suicide Day resolves to prove that, for some unknown reason, his death was murder. First he must break the news to marble sculptor Konstantinos Saris, Edward’s old friend on Naxos. He hears that strange and threatening things are happening at Konstantinos’s workshop, suggesting that Konstantinos is in danger of meeting the same fate as Edward. Something has to be done, and Day decides to do it.
This is the second in the Naxos Mysteries series. Martin Day is beginning to get a reputation when it comes to assisting the police.
Vanessa Gordon is an English writer and the author of The Naxos Mysteries. She has also published a book on the cuisine of the Cycladic islands, A Greek Feast on Naxos. The Naxos Mysteries were inspired by her love of Greece, its ancient history, archaeology and cuisine. She has travelled extensively round the archaeological sites of Greece, meeting people concerned with the discovery and protection of the country’s cultural heritage. Naxos made an enormous impact on her. On one of her many visits she came across the stone hut in the hills which inspired the first book, The Meaning of Friday. With the creation of her protagonist, the archaeologist and film presenter Martin Day, the next books followed quickly. Vanessa writes: ‘I love the mystery genre, which enables me to explore the magic of Greek antiquity, the wonderful landscape and the cuisine of Greece, and the rich complexities of human nature. In The Naxos Mysteries I try to appeal to both the mind and the heart of my reader, engaging them in the passions and tragedies of the characters in a context of discovery and exploration.’
