2001In 334 B. C. Alexander the Great has decided to add Persia to his conquests, but finds his inner circle beset with intrigue and his own divine personage in peril as spies and murderers stalk the tents of his army in this fast-paced page-turner. The young ruler summons his childhood friend, Telamon, to ferret out the identity of the mysterious Naihpat, suspected to be the force behind the wave of deaths. A physician who learned deductive reasoning studying with Aristotle, Telamon reluctantly accepts the duty. Freeing the spunky redhead Cassandra from the slave pens to act as his assistant, he quickly encounters killings accomplished by Celtic knife and club, poison and pushes from cliffs even two deaths that occur in "locked rooms, " that is, tightly sewn tents with Alexander's guards posted at the only entrance. And with each victim is found a scrap of parchment bearing cryptic warnings taken from the Iliad and Euripides. The prolific Doherty, author of The Mask of the Ra and the sizable historical mystery series about Hugh Corbett and Brother Athelstan, deftly handles the period details, from day-to-day life in the camp to the inner courts of the Persian King of Kings, bringing in a vast cast (many soon to die) as Alexander moves across the Hellespont toward the epic battle of the Granicus. Fans of ancient historical mysteries will find themselves in superbly practiced hands. ; 1.07 x 9.54 x 6.37 Inches; 320 pages

2016br. Ante, un veterano della guerra dei Balcani degli anni Novanta, è un giocatore d'azzardo compulsivo che cerca rifugio nelle sale da gioco di Zagabria. Ha perduto tutto: denari, famiglia, ideali, amicizie. Vive di risentimento e di solitudine in una società in cui capitalismo e nazionalismo la fanno da padroni. Giunto a un punto di non ritorno e ormai in cura psichiatrica, decide di lasciare ai numeri della roulette il governo del suo destino. Inizierà cosi la sua vera avventura: estorcerà denaro al suo ex datore di lavoro che lo ha licenziato, consegnandogli una foto compromettente della moglie; verrà brutalmente picchiato; sarà accolto in uno strano rifugio di peccatori, dove un diabolico professore si diverte a speculare sulle colpe degli ultimi; scoprirà un assassinio e costringerà l'omicida a vendicarsi al suo posto. Pareggiati apparentemente i conti, deciderà di puntare tutto sullo zero e di ricominciare da una pistola al cuore. Non morirà, ma la roulette smetterà di girare. Almeno fino alla scoperta finale.
