A Greek Feast on Naxos is a full-colour celebration of the cuisine of the Greek Cyclades from the author of The Naxos Mysteries. It includes recipes from Greek chefs such as Aglaia Kremezi and Yannis Vassilas, and from residents of the Cycladic islands. Helpful suggestions are given for creating the dishes outside Greece. The unique ingredients of the region are described in an amusing anecdotal style. Culinary specialities are featured, from the renowned local liqueur "Kitron" to the sun-dried fish "Gouna". It explains which herbs to grow at home for an authentic Greek flavour, and where to go on Naxos to experience a culinary treat.Not least, A Greek Feast on Naxos also features a short story in The Naxos Mysteries series, in which followers of the books' main character, archaeologist Martin Day, will learn the answer to an outstanding mystery while enjoying a real Greek feast in one of the most sensational venues on Naxos. Food-related excerpts from the earlier books are included, to reproduce the famously indulgent restaurant experiences of the main characters.The recipes in this volume include traditional Greek meze plates and dips, fried vegetable and meat fritters, various Cycladic salads featuring local cheeses, the popular "Yemista" (stuffed vegetables) made both with and without meat, succulent roast lamb with local herbs, roast potatoes with lemon and oregano, and various sweet treats from cake and traditional biscuits to home-made spoon-sweets.

Archaeologist Martin Day had an affair with Ophelia Blue twenty years ago, and suddenly she is on her way to Naxos because she needs his help. He is excited to see her again, but also wary as his life now revolves around Helen. Ophelia, however, behaves perfectly - until she disappears after their first evening together without revealing why she had come. The police refuse to regard Ophelia as a missing person, nor is the difficult new Chief of Police, Inspector Kyriakos Tsountas, the kind of man to accept that her disappearance is connected to a strange local legend. The legend speaks of a lost ancient artefact known as the Kallos of Naxos. Only one man ever tried to find the Kallos, and he's dead. If Day is to find Ophelia he will need all his ingenuity and imagination, and quite possibly his courage. This is the fourth in the Naxos Mysteries series, in which many things come to a head for Martin Day in his search for the missing Ophelia.
