Description:Mathematics professor Dobie finds a new mystery to solve when he arrives on the Greek island of Aphrodite and embarks on an investigation into the Amphitryon Affair, a case in which myth, sex, insanity, and political intrigue mix. By the author of The Catalyst.
Winner of the Sunday Times' Best Crime novel of the year, Desmond Cory
introduces us again to the offbeat world of Professor John Dobie. Sent
into exile by those of his friends and colleagues still reeling from his
exploits in The Strange Attractor, Dobie arrives on the Isle of
Aphrodite (better known as Cyprus) prepared to induct his new students
into the Mysteries of Higher Mathematics. But the local gods have a
shock or two in store for him, starting with the fact that his
predecessor at the school, a former student of Dobie’s, has been
murdered.
