My First-published ‘Detective Grigoris’ Story, out now in New UK Anthology
In January 2025, I celebrated the publication of my first story from the future Detective Grigoris series, in the latest multi-author anthology of the Crimeucopia series, entitled: Hey! Don’t Read That, Read This! (Murderous Ink Press, UK). Available in both paperback and Kindle formats via Amazon worldwide on the below links, the anthology brings together diverse works of mystery fiction by international authors.
“The Mystery of the Scavenging Crabs,” as the story is called, is a somewhat comic tale involving off-roading in the wilds of northeastern Greece, an enigmatic luxury-car theft, action, adventure and plenty of interaction with the colorful characters, foods and landscapes that the detective meets while sussing out another unexpected case.
Although it’s set in 2023—a good 24 years after the protagonist, Grigoris Kardamylios began his career as ‘Greece’s most famously obscure private detective’—the story is the first to be published. It was written in the summer of 2023, a prolific time of writing for me, and contains references to other as-yet-unpublished stories and series elements that I’ve been developing since launching this project in late 2021.
Anthology length (paperback): 308pp.
