The fifth title in Leta Serafim’s Greek Islands Mystery series, The Nameless Dead begins when Chief Inspector Yiannis Patronas is summoned to an abandoned refugee camp on the sunny Greek island of Chios, where he finds the body of a murdered young Syrian woman–and a mystery that shakes him to his core. As Patronas pursues the killer from an island migrant camp into the shadows of Turkey, he finds himself battling uncertainty and dissent from within his own department even as the disappearance of a colleague undercover and the dangers of the migrant world add to the urgency of his investigation. Timely, heart-pounding, and ultimately moving, The Nameless Dead is a thrilling and entertaining mystery that is not to be missed.
The Nameless Dead will be available in both paperback ($16.95) and eBook ($6.99) and on sale via a variety of major bookstores and book sites, including Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Bookshop.org.
