Description
A philosophical crime novel set during the time of Pericles, Madame Socrate recounts the murder investigation led by Xanthippe, wife of the famous philosopher. In an Athens ripe with spies, corruption, gossip and superstition, Xanthippe’s murder investigation will not disappoint readers. When she at last unearths the truth, History itself reveals the culprit. And so ends the most famous chapter of Ancient Greek history—and with it Socrates’ desire to live.
