Ghost of Santorini

Karen S Ramos

Some writers never stop working on their story—not even after the last page.

When bestselling author Nico Angelos turns up dead in his cliffside Santorini villa, eccentric Detective Theo Karras arrives expecting a straightforward, if tragic, case. What he doesn't expect is Nico himself—confused, indignant, and very much still talking—floating beside his own body, utterly unaware that he's dead. And somehow, Theo is the only one who can see him.

With no one else able to hear a word he says, Nico has exactly one option: team up with Theo to solve his own murder. Between a poisoned bottle of wine, a memoir full of secrets powerful people wanted buried, and a criminal network with far more to hide than anyone realized, the investigation quickly grows into something much bigger than a single killing. As Theo and his ghostly, increasingly exasperated partner dig deeper into the island's darker corners, they uncover corruption reaching into the police, the docks, and beyond—and a killer who isn't finished yet.

It's an unlikely partnership—one very dead novelist, one very alive detective, and an entire criminal empire standing between them and the truth. But on an island as beautiful and secretive as Santorini, the dead don't always stay quiet.

Ghosts of Santorini is a charming, twisty mystery that blends a gorgeous Greek-island setting with a buddy-detective pairing you won't see coming—perfect for readers who love their crime solving with a wink of the supernatural.
