Within hours of finding her, she's lying naked and dead at your feet. So you run to Greek Street. And that's when your troubles really begin...Boasting a cast of sexy strippers, murderous gangsters, body-snatching mad women and a disturbed young girl who can see the future, GREEK STREET is Peter Milligan's re-imagining of those brutal and visceral tragedies that graced the Theatre of Dionysus in Ancient Greece - bloody tales about incest, homicide, beautiful oracles, all-knowing choruses, kings, monsters and gods - played out on the mean streets of modern-day London.
* A gritty crime book that works as an excellent commentary on antiquity.. unique enough to provide almost any reader with something considerably different from any myth or crime story he/she has ever read before - IGN
