It is winter in the mountains of Greece and as the snow melts in the tiny village of Vrisi a body is discovered lying by the side of the road. In the same village, watched over by the shrine of St Fanourios (the patron saint of lost things) a coffin is unearthed and broken open, revealing some very unexpected remains to the astonished mourners. Hermes Diaktoros, drawn to Vrisi on an affair of the heart, finds himself embroiled in the mysteries of both the dead body and the coffin, as well as the enigmatic last will and testament of Greece's most admired modern poet. The Whispers of Nemesis is a story of desperate measures and dark secrets, of murder and immortality and of pride coming before the steepest of falls.
