The Godless Man

"It is 334 BC. Alexander has smashed the armies of the great king Darius III at the battle of the Granicus. Now Alexander is roaming the Western Persian Empire, picking off the cities one by one like a hungry predator, thus living up to his nickname of "the Wolf of Macedon"." "When Alexander arrives at one of his prizes, the great city of Ephesus, the success of his campaign is threatened by a series of violent murders brought about by a high-ranking Persian spy known only as "the Centaur"." So once again Alexander's friend and physician, the level-headed Telamon, must take it upon himself to unravel this swirling mass of bloodstrewn mysteries, this time working hand in hand with the king's eerie Master of Secrets, Aristander.
