Gary Corby writes fiction set in ancient Greece, with all seven of his books belonging to The Athenian Mysteries series. Starting with The Pericles Commission in 2010, the series ran through 2017’s Death on Delos, producing roughly one book per year. The titles reference figures and places from classical Athens: Pericles, Ionia, Marathon, Memphis, and the island of Delos all feature prominently.
The series blends historical settings with mystery plotting, as titles like Sacred Games, Death Ex Machina, and The Marathon Conspiracy make clear. Corby kept the series tightly focused across its seven-book run, and the consistent annual release schedule suggests a writer who planned his output carefully. For readers interested in ancient Greek history mixed with detective fiction, Corby’s catalog offers a complete, self-contained series to work through.
