"Target: Tinos [is] another of Jeffrey Siger's thoughtful police procedurals set in picturesque but not untroubled Greek locales."—New York Times

In an isolated olive grove on the Aegean island of Tinos lies the remains of two charred bodies chained together amid pieces of an incinerated Greek flag. An enraged press screams out for justice for the unknown victims, until the dead are identified as Gypsies. Then the story simply dies. Is it a Gypsy clan war, a hate crime, or something else? With no one seeming to care, the Greek government has no interest in resurrecting unwanted media attention and orders the investigation closed. But Andreas Kaldis, head of Greece's special crimes division, has other plans. He presses on to unravel a mystery that yields more dead, a modern secret society, and questions about the sudden influx of non-Greeks and Gypsies to Tinos. Now Andreas must find the killers before more die, stop the robbery of the century, and get married in the process.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Set on the Aegean pilgrimage island of Tinos, Siger’s superb fourth procedural featuring Chief Insp. Andreas Kaldis (after 2011’s Prey on Patmos) cleverly integrates the ancient with the modern. When Andreas looks into the mysterious immolation of two gypsies on Tinos, apparently a hate crime against immigrants, he faces formidable pressures from his fiery fiancée, Lila, whom he’s to marry in six days on nearby Mykonos—and from his wily boss, Spiros Renatis, who abruptly orders him to close the investigation. While the Greek government can’t afford bad publicity during the country’s current financial crisis, Andreas, aided by his feisty chief assistant, Yianni Kouros, and his friend Tassos Stamatos, chief homicide investigator for the Cyclades, pursues this eerie case, which soon involves ruthless Albanian mobsters, the history of Greek independence from Turkey, and a Tinos-based esoteric cult. A likable, compassionate lead; appealing Greek atmosphere; and a well-crafted plot help make this a winner. (June) (Starred review)

Jeff is an American living on the Aegean Greek island of Mykonos. The New York Times Book Review honored his work by designating Jeff as Greece’s thriller novelist of record, the Greek Government’s General Secretariat of Media and Communications selected him as one of six authors—and the only American—writing mysteries that serve as a guide to Greece, and Library Journal named his ninth book in the series, "An Aegean April," as one of the best books of 2018. He’s also received Barry and Left Coast Crime Best Novel award nominations. A consortium of producers have agreed to bring his series to the screen with filming to take place on location in Greece.

ONE LAST CHANCE, the latest in Jeff's Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis series, is set on the mountainous, rugged Eastern Aegean island of Ikaria. Immersed in a storied past of exploitation, political exiles, and lives spent in hiding from conquerors, slavers, and pirates, today the island bears a worldwide reputation for its population living exceptionally long lives. It is the perfect setting for a mystery-thriller enmeshed in the consequences of bearing an international reputation for longevity during pandemic-panicked times.

Born and raised in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Jeff practiced law at a major Wall Street law firm and while there served as Special Counsel to the citizens group responsible for reporting on New York City's prison conditions. He left Wall Street to establish his own New York City law firm and continued as one of its name partners until giving it all up to write full-time among the people, life, and politics of his beloved Mykonos, his adopted home of thirty-five years. When not in Greece, he enjoys his other home, a farm outside New York City. Jeff also has served as National Board Chair of Bouchercon World Mystery Convention and Adjunct Professor of English at Washington and Jefferson College teaching mystery writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Greek Xenophobia
Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2012

Inspector Kaldis faces a confusing maze of clues on the island of Tinos. The island, which is dominated by a powerful monastery hosting a famous icon, is suddenly filled with foreign workers who are apparently being paid good wages to do nothing. Kaldis thinks that they are a distraction for a big heist at the monastery or at one of its treasure troves. But two gypsies have been brutally murdered and something sinister is going on. There are Albanian gangs, relatively petty thefts of monastery valuables, the escalating murders, but no clear suspects. Kaldis has to find the kingpin - the Shepherd - before matters get completely out of hand. All this while trying to give his bride to be the kind of attention she expects in the week running up to their wedding!
As he keeps us guessing, Siger fills the book with interesting characters, and a personal understanding of the Greek culture and lifestyle, as well as of the country's daunting current problems and growing xenophobia. A worthy successor to the excellent PREY ON PATMOS.

4.0 out of 5 stars Tinos is a new variation on a familiar theme
Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2024

The first Kaldis mystery without significant time devoted to the antagonists until the very end (post-solution). Target: Tinos brings us to a less known island, similarly religious and mystical in the vein of Prey on Patmos. Again, the Kaldis team is together (Maggie, Yianni, and Tassos) to help the Chief Inspector solve the tricky homicides while getting to the church on time to get married. This one benefits from being tough to solve until the two-thirds of the way through point while offering interesting insights on Tinos, a mystery of sorts all on its own. The only complaint is that we now have three in a row where the antagonists' motives are Blofeldian in scope--if only in terms of international or universal ambition. Whatever the quibbles, an enjoyable case!

These books are great. I'm in the middle of reading all of them. Jeffrey is a terrific writer. The mystery storylines are very well written. Target: Tinos has a lot of intrigue and twisting plots that all came together in the end. I love Andreas, Yianni and all of the characters. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

3.0 out of 5 stars Some Good, Some Not
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2012

This is a good police procedural, at least up to the point where it stops being so good. That would be near the ending, which was a bit of a stretch. On the other hand, Siger gives us fascinating insights into Greece, especially the Island of Tinos in the Cyclades. I enjoyed the frequent local color, glimpses into the cultural and religious mores of the place, often droll commentary on the plight to Greece today and, of course, the aforementioned pretty good police procedural. Andreas Kaldis, head of Greece's special crimes division, is a worthy character, blending in right amounts, cop brusqueness, cop malice, loving Greek family patriarch and family protector (he gets married in this book) and zinger-filled dialog. This isn't the best cop book I ever read, nor is it anywhere near the worst. In fact, it's a pretty good book set in an exotic Aegean location. I enjoyed it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A nice read

Well, I'm glad I'm sticking with Andreas Kaldis. Still no comparison to my favorites but I do love all the cultural details about Greece and this one did have some page turning gripping moments toward the end. This one details the lives of immigrants in Greece....the racism of the Greeks against the Roma, Albanians, Eastern Europeans, the horrible Mafia type crimes of all of them. As with all of the books , Siger has such a love/hate view of Greece. He really tells it like it is. BUT, like all of his books I've read, I'm not quite sure about the ending. Some loose threads for me There's a Greek wedding described in detail, similar to My Big Fat Greek Wedding....delightful.

>examples of his writing:
> The word is "manipulative" is not "nice". And the reason is because you can't help yourself. You're a man. Worse, a Greek man.
>>
> As far as Andreas was concerned, Greece really blew it in 2004. It had the best minds from the CIA, MI6, Mossad, and everywhere else in the world focused on preparing Greece for the Olympic Games......how to protect against terrorism. It was Greece's perfect chance to learn.........But what did Greece do? Nothing. Let it all go to waste. Now the terrorists were back and Greece had no idea .......
>>
> We love pointing fingers, blaming others for our troubles. We blame immigrants for crime, drugs, and change to our way of life. We ignore that few in this country want to pay taxes, corruption is everywhere, and only the honest seem to get screwed.

This is the fourth book of Jeffrey’s that I’ve read and each one is a gem. This book shows the gritty underworld of Greece, not usually seen by tourists. In this book we wonder whether Andreas will make it to his own wedding as he deals with the fallout from a gypsy dispute which turns out to have far reaching consequences. An underrated writer in the UK, who deserves to be much better known.

4 éme tome des aventures de l'inspecteur Kaldis , il se déroule en grande partie sur l'ile de Tinos et dans les communautés marginales de la Grèce, et oui la Grèce est un pays qui connait sa part d'ombre .
Les personnages sont toujours aussi vivants , le fond de l'intrigue me semble assez réaliste et permet à Mr Siger de nous faire partager ses connaissances sur l'histoire et sur la Grèce en général , j'ai par contre été un peu déçu par la chute finale .
