The Demetrios Askiates series opens in 1096 Constantinople, as the armies of the First Crusade converge on the city and the Byzantine Emperor faces threats from every direction. Tom Harper uses this setting to build mysteries that depend as much on the politics of the era as on the crimes themselves. The Mosaic of Shadows introduces Demetrios as a man who navigates court intrigue and street-level danger with equal care.

Knights of the Cross and Siege of Heaven follow Demetrios into the Holy Land as the crusading armies press toward Jerusalem. Each book raises the stakes and broadens the geography, while keeping the focus on a single sharp-eyed investigator trying to find truth in a world driven by faith, greed, and violence. Readers who enjoy medieval mysteries with strong historical detail will find this a satisfying three-book arc.
