—Greek proverb A thought occurred to Patronas as he read through his notes, something he’d missed and needed to ask the shepherd about. He thought he was beginning to catch a glimpse of what had transpired prior to the murders, the people involved. He could be completely wrong. It might have been Antonis Argentis working with his mother, the two of them after Eleni’s inheritance. But then why kill Petros and Marina? No, it had to be the discovery of the Minoan city beneath Profitis Ilias that had set the whole thing in motion. The shepherd had proven to be an elusive quarry. No one had seen him on the hill since Marina’s death, yet it was evident someone was tending the goats, freshening their water and seeing to it that the animals had food. It even looked like the new pen had been raked out, straw scattered on the ground. Patronas rubbed his eyes. He had stayed up all night waiting for the shepherd, who he assumed came out while the others slept.
