Pericles dispatches his protégé Nicolaos to investigate a suspicious suicide in this “lively” historical mystery set in Ancient Greece (Kirkus Reviews). Athens, 460 B.C. Life’s tough for Nicolaos, the only investigating agent in ancient Athens. His girlfriend has left him, and his boss wants to fire him. But when an Athenian official is murdered, the brilliant statesman Pericles has no choice but to put Nico on the job. The case takes Nico, in the company of a beautiful slave girl, to the land of Ionia within the Persian Empire. The Persians will execute him on the spot if they think he’s a spy. Beyond that, there are only a few minor problems. He’s being chased by brigands who are only waiting for the right price before they kill him. Somehow he has to placate his girlfriend, who is very angry about that slave girl. He must meet Themistocles, the military genius who saved Greece during the Persian Wars, and then defected to the hated enemy. And to solve the crime, Nico must uncover a secret that could not only destroy Athens, but will force him to choose between love, and ambition, and his own life. Praise for The Ionia Sanction “The action is solidly paced and engaging throughout, while Nico’s noir-ish patter makes the history highly accessible. . . . Corby weaves in most of these historical nuggets skillfully. . . . [Nico’s] worth reading.” —Historical Novel Society
