A murder mystery written by a former American lawyer is one of the top-selling English-language novels in Greece.

Of the more than 240,000 books in its system, Greece’s largest chain of bookstores reported this summer that Murder in Mykonos by Jeffrey Siger was the top choice of customers looking to read a novel in English.

The release of the English- and Greek-language versions this spring, by Aikaterini Lalaouni Editions of Athens, marked the first time a foreign work of fiction has debuted in both languages in Greece.

The novel will be published in the United States by Poisoned Pen Press in January.
