A Corpse in the Court of Amalia

Teukros Michaelides


Athens, 1850. Angeliki Delveniotis, a lady-in-waiting to Queen Amalia, lies dead on the cobblestones under the window of her apartment in the Palace. Everyone believes it was a fatal accident. Florence Nightingale, who is in Athens at the time, spending her days with her scholarly friend Frances Hill, director of the first Greek parthenagogue, has the opposite opinion... Power games, diplomatic intrigues, blackmail are shaking the already weak foundations of the newly established Greek state, which is nevertheless a magnet for the cream of the European intelligentsia. Hans Christian Andersen, Gustave Flaubert, the Austrian soprano Caroline Unger-Sabattier will find themselves entangled with the fictional heroes of this story in an original historical-police adventure.
