A dead man in Athens

Athens, 1913, is the capital of a country on the brink of war. The new prime minister has a vision to unite all the Greek people scattered around the Mediterranean. While his plan is being challenged by other countries, the exiled former Sultan's cat is poisoned and some believe this was a first strike at the Sultan himself. This, in the Balkans, could start a war, so Britain sits up and takes notice. Action must be taken quickly and discreetly, they send Scotland Yard Foreign Office Special Investigator Sandor Seymour to investigate.
