Olympia 400 BCE. The greatest athletes in Greece are preparing for the 95th Olympic Games. But someone is prepared to kill to decide who wins. Kallias of Athens has spent his life preparing for one chance to defeat Sparta's seemingly invincible champion, Lysandros. But when Kallias survives a brutal assassination attempt, he discovers victory at Olympia is being decided long before the athletes enter the arena. A secret organisation has been using bribery, sabotage and murder to protect Spartan dominance - and anyone who discovers the truth becomes their next target. Branded a killer and hunted across Greece, Kallias must expose the conspiracy before the Olympic Games begin. Olympia is a face paced historical crime thriller of murder, political intrigue and sporting rivalry set amid the temples, politics and brutality of Classical Greece by television producer and novelist Carson Black. In the greatest Games in history, winning is worth killing for.Ancient Greece, 400 BCE.
