A Deadly Twist by Jeffrey Siger

Athens crime reporter Nikoletta Elia is exasperated when her editor sends her to the island of Naxos to cover growing tensions between advocates for development and conservationists. To her surprise, she is approached by a man claiming to be a master hacker who wants to set the record straight before he retires. Her resulting article caused shockwaves across Greece, and shortly after it was published, Nikoletta disappeared.

Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis sends Detective Yianni Kouros ahead to begin the investigation, and Yianni finds a set of notebooks with Nikoletta’s interview notes. Using them as a template, he starts making contacts across Naxos.

As Andreas prepares to leave with his wife, Lila, and assistant, Maggie, he receives a call notifying him that Yianni is in a coma after a car accident. Nikoletta’s questions and Yianni’s follow-up threatened the wrong people—but which story triggered the violence? That about the hacker? The state of tourism? Or a different incident altogether? And how far will they go?

This was a satisfying mystery with with an entertaining cast of characters, and I enjoyed the quick pace. Even though numerous crimes including murder were described in the book, the scenery and architecture were described so vividly, it still made me want to visit Greece! I plan to circle back and read earlier books in the series which is written by an American living in Greece.
