330BC: it is the year that Alexander the Great sacked Persepolis & won the greatest fortune the world had ever known. The night of the Silent Dinner when Athens placates the spirits of the dead passes with a creeping mist accompanied by eerie portents & a strange disappearance. Stephanos, son of Nikiarkhos & his teacher, the philosopher Aristotle, are drawn into solving the perplexing abduction case of Anthia, the heiress of a prominent silver merchant. Someone has snatched her from her home, but what is the motive: rape, a forced marriage or murder? All that is known is that the abductor & the heiress are on the road to Delphi & its ancient oracle. Stephanos & Aristotle pursue them but along the way there are plenty of distractions: it's spring time & the country is full of reborn life, the thought of romance & marriage is never far from young Stephanos' mind, & rumours of mysterious strangers passing in the night abound, of disguises & swapping of identity. Then the actuality of murder shatters the idyll. It seems that there is a psychopath on the road pursuing abductor & heiress. But who the abductor is & who the murderer is are mysteries that only Aristotle with the aid of the Delphian oracle will be able to solve. ...
