Sacred Games by Gary Corby7/6/2023 Who else could have killed the second-best fighter in all Hellas but the very best? The judges of the competition sentence Timodemus to be executed in four days' time, as soon as the Sacred Games have finished.Ĭomplicating everything is the fact that Athens and Sparta are already at each other's throats, in the opening stages of a power struggle for control of Hellas. When Parmonos is found beaten to death, it seems obvious Timodemus would be the killer. Timo is hot favorite to win-his only serious rival is Parmonos from Sparta. Nicolaos's best friend, Timodemus, is a competitor in the pankration, the deadly martial art of ancient Greece. A murder during the Olympics may spark a war between Athens and Sparta in this historical mystery in the "consistently excellent series" ( Booklist).
