A Darker God by Barbara Cleverly

A Darker God by Barbara Cleverly

Award-winning author Barbara Cleverly returns with this spellbinding new mystery featuring aspiring archaeologist Laetitia Talbot. In Athens in 1928, Letty begins a perilous race to unearth a plot steeped in betrayal, seething with retribution, and about to explode in a wave of lethal violence.

In the open-air theatre of the dark god Dionysos, Letty watches a performance of an ancient Greek tragedy. But the revenge that is exacted onstage, the dagger that is wielded, and the blood that flows in full view of the audience are not theatrical effects. As Letty digs for clues, she unearths disturbing secrets and dark animosities with catastrophic implications worthy of a Sophocles--but of far more recent vintage.

Now, as a killer cuts a merciless swath across a country in the throes of political instability, Letty herself steps unawares into the murderer's savage spotlight--a light so bright she may not be able to see the dark figure behind it until it's too late.

Barbara Cleverly is a Durham University graduate who was born in the north of England. She is a former teacher who now resides in Cambridge. The Last Kashmiri Rose, Odd Visions of Death, The Blood Royal, Not My Blood, A Spider in the Cup, Enter Pale Death, and Diana's Altar are among the thirteen books in the Joe Sandilands series.
