"Set in 4th century BC Athens, this is the story of a student named Stephanos who narrates the way his teacher Aristotle provides Sherlock Holmes-like powers of deduction to help solve a murder. The action-packed story includes murderous attacks at night and an escape from the city in disguise, but all is informed by research about life in ancient (332 BC) Athens: homes, citizenship, olive culture, pottery, women, the legal system, and more. Readers will enjoy the suspense of watching Aristotle teach Stephanos how to gather evidence and manage the case in order to save his family's honor."--Publisher.
