“Nothing ever happens to me,” bemoans lovely Camilla Haven while on holiday in Athens, Greece. Moments later, as if on cue, a stranger approaches and hands her the keys to a rental car, along with instructions to deliver it to Delphi. Obviously the man has mistaken her for someone else. And yet Camilla, a classics teacher whose finances are running perilously low, can’t refuse the opportunity to travel for free to the ancient village. There she meets Simon Lester, an intriguing young man recently arrived from England to investigate the death of his brother Michael in the mountains above Delphi. It seems Michael’s final letter home was something of a riddle, hinting at a spectacular discovery he made just before his death. When Camilla and Simon join forces to investigate, they realize that Michael’s discovery cost him his life—and may well cost them their own. Framed against a spectacular Greek backdrop, My Brother Michael is a thrilling tale of murder, suspense, and revenge.
