When the Gods Are Away

<p><strong>It's Blasphemer's Week</strong> the annual period during which the gods vacation at Mount Olympus and ignore the inconsequential mortals and it always begins with blood. This year's first victim is a former police officer murdered while getting butter from his fridge. Now Virgil Glezos the city-state's first detective on his first case must track the killer by inventing techniques that combine magic and technology. He is aided by a professional dance choreographer a bio-warfare expert who doesn't want to be there two police officers who hate him and a priest who may or may not be trying to kill him. When Virgil uncovers something deeper than a single murder he must quickly become the wrong person at the right time to stop the greater plot against humanity.</p>
