author:  Anne Zouroudi 
description: On a remote Greek island, the Lady of Sorrows iconsaid to have washed ashore in 1863 when it saved sailors from drowningis famed for its miraculous powers. But when Hermes Diaktoros visits with an art-historian friend, they can tell the icon is a fake and intend to alert authorities. However, the sudden death of the islands icon painter gives Diaktoros pause, for the death seems unnatural, despite a doctors findings to the contrary. So Diaktoros, an investigator who answers to some higher authority, searches for answers andas he is prone to dometes out justice. The background of Diaktoros, described as the fat man, remains mysterious, but his direct dealings with villagers produce the answers needed to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together. The fourth in Zouroudis Seven Deadly Sins mysteries (after The Doctor of Thessaly, 2012), this is a sun-drenched, atmospheric tale, gentle in tone despite the forgery, murder, incest, and betrayal in its pages. Seldom are locales portrayed in so appealing a fashion. --Michele Leber
