This was a great fourteenth entry in the Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis Mystery series, it had that element that I was expecting from the previous entries. I was engaged with what was going on and though the characters worked with what I was hoping for and enjoyed getting to read this. I was glad I got to read this and enjoyed the way Jeffrey Siger wrote this.

I still have goosebumps from this book! I could not set it down. I had to know how it ended. I loved the plot and the characters of this book.

Jeffrey Siger's mysteries, set in various Greek locations, never cease to be fast-moving, full of engaging (and some nefarious) characters, and are always connected to Andreas Kaldis, a highly ranked inspector based in Athens. Siger's books are distinguished by the fact that the plots and characters are never repetitive nor prosaic. The people who work with Kaldis in the office are rounded, entertaining, supportive characters who add to the humor and to the abstruse searches to identify the "bad guys."

In this mystery, Kaldis' wife, Lela, plays a bigger part than usual. When there is a private plane crash with one surprising survivor, Kaldis realizes that Lela and her father have a direct connection to the company that supplies these private flights. Dimitris Onofrio, who survives the crash, is hardly an upstanding citizen, and in fact, he is just the opposite. Nonetheless, he is gutted by the death of his wife, Alexandria, in the crash. Kaldis is determined to figure out what caused the crash, who is behind it, and why.

For mystery readers, this book, and in fact, all of Siger's books, are something to eagerly look forward to. Like all of Siger's books, this one has a clever and complicated plot that Kaldis skillfully figures out, adding to the suspense. Each character is skillfully drawn and has secrets and recondite reasons to hide his or her connection to the intrigue. The eventual identification of the murderers and what they are after is surprising.

Thanks to Severn Publishing and Net Galley for the opportunity to read this book.

A corrupt millionaire. A suspicious plane crash. A sole survivor. Chief Inspector Kaldis is on the case!! Very good read! This book had great suspense, murder, very mysterious, intriguing, action, a great who done it and a few wild twists! I definitely recommend reading this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

Wealthy Greek businessman Dimitris Onofrio is known to be corrupt to the core, but the police have never been able to make his crimes stick. Powerful, influential and extremely dangerous, Onofrio is not a man to cross, and every witness prepared to come forward against him has died before they could testify.

So when Onofrio’s private jet crashes, seemingly with no survivors, the police breathe a sigh of relief – quickly replaced by horror when Onofrio is found alive but catatonic on a remote Ionian beach, beside the body of his beloved wife.

Was the crash an accident . . . or sabotage? Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis, head of Athens’ Special Crimes Unit, knows that unless he can discover the truth before Onofrio recovers, the tycoon will be out for bloody revenge on all involved. Including Kaldis’ own beloved wife, who is more mixed up in the accident than anyone would ever have suspected . . .

With its gorgeous Greek locations, engaging characters and fast-paced plotting, this international crime series is a perfect pick for fans of Donna Leon, Louise Penny, Martin Walker and David Hewson.

Loved it. Cannot wait to read more from the author. Will recommend to others
