Bad things are happening at the theater where a play is being prepared for the Great Dionysia, a festival to honor the god Dionysus. Pericles commissions Nicolaos to find out what's going on. Not long after the start of the investigation, one actor is badly injured and another one is killed. We get to learn a lot about theater in ancient Greece and the treatment of metics, foreign non-citizens in Athens. Of course, Nico's younger brother Socrates is a big help.

Fun and enjoyable. Also a clever, logical plot, which is well presented. A good read. Recommended.
A man is murdered in the theatre. The search for his killer carries our duo of investigators around and outside Athens. Mystery and conspiracies abound. Eventually, just in the nick of time, the evil doer is discovered. Not who you would expect, but the guilt is clear.
