A Corpse in Amalia's Yard

Athens, 1850. Angeliki Delvenioti, maid of honor to Queen Amalia, is found dead on the cobblestones, under the window of her apartment in the Palace. Everyone thinks it's a fatal accident. Florence Nightingale, who at that time is in Athens spending her days with her best friend, Frances Hill, headmistress of the first Greek girls' school, has an opposite opinion...Power games, diplomatic intrigues, blackmail shake the already weak foundations of the newly established of the Greek state, which is nevertheless a pole of attraction for the cream of European intellectuals. Hans Christian Andersen, Gustave Flaubert, Austrian soprano Caroline Unger-Sambatier will find themselves entangled with the fictional heroes of this story in an original historical-police adventure.
