Target: Tinos (Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis Series Book 4)

Set on the Aegean pilgrimage island of Tinos, Sigerâ€™s superb fourth procedural featuring Chief Insp. Andreas Kaldis (after 2011â€™s Prey on Patmos) cleverly integrates the ancient with the modern. When Andreas looks into the mysterious immolation of two gypsies on Tinos, apparently a hate crime against immigrants, he faces formidable pressures from his fiery fiancÃ©e, Lila, whom heâ€™s to marry in six days on nearby Mykonosâ€”and from his wily boss, Spiros Renatis, who abruptly orders him to close the investigation. While the Greek government canâ€™t afford bad publicity during the countryâ€™s current financial crisis, Andreas, aided by his feisty chief assistant, Yianni Kouros, and his friend Tassos Stamatos, chief homicide investigator for the Cyclades, pursues this eerie case, which soon involves ruthless Albanian mobsters, the history of Greek independence from Turkey, and a Tinos-based esoteric cult. A likable, compassionate lead; appealing Greek atmosphere; and a well-crafted plot help make this a winner.
