Used book – Aristotle Detective, Margaret Doody

At the dawn of the month of Boedromion, just after the summer solstice in Athens in 322 BC, a prominent citizen is brutally murdered with an arrow to the throat. Young Stephanos is horrified by the sight, but even more terrified when he hears the public proclamation accusing his cousin Philemon of the murder. For, according to Athenian law, it is Stephanos, as the accused's closest male relative, who is given the daunting honour of defending Philemon before the Areopagus. In his despair, he seeks help and assistance from his old master Aristotle. In recounting his adventure, Stephanos paints a delightful portrait of Aristotle and his eccentricities, his enthusiasms, his passion for pottery and good wine. Thanks to the philosopher, our hero will uncover the truth.
