John, former Lord Chamberlain to Emperor Justinian, has been exiled from Constantinople to a rustic estate in Greece, not far from his childhood home. But exile proves no escape from mystery and mayhem. Before long, John finds himself accused of blasphemy and murder. Now a powerless outsider, he's on his own, investigating but hampered by the ruthless City Defender who serves as both law enforcer and judge. Plus there's that corrupt estate overseer, a shady pig farmer, a servant's unwelcome suitor, and the criminals and cutthroats populating the seedy port. Complicating matters further are two childhood friends whose lives have taken very different paths, and the stepfather John hated. John realizes that in Megara, the solution to murder does not lie in the dark alleys where previous investigations have taken him, but in a far more dangerous place-his own past. Can he find his way out of the labyrinth of lies and danger into which he has been thrust before disaster strikes and exile turns into execution?
