The Secret of the Second Zeus Anders Kingsley

The book is a modern day mystery thriller with references to ancient Greek Myths.

Running away from a broken heart, easygoing American Tom Rivers travels to Switzerland to see an old friend, only to find him brutally murdered on the very first day of the visit. Having barely survived a confrontation with his friend's killer, Tom is stranded in a strange country with two cracked ribs, and no phone or wallet. The next morning he and his friend's sister learn of the victim's last message-scrawled in his own blood on the back of a group photo. If they can decipher the cryptic message, referring to an ancient myth, they might uncover the biggest conspiracy of a generation. But the darker the secret, the more ruthless are those trying to protect it.
