Description
In the shadowy hours of central Athens, Costas Haritos—an embattled CID chief with a volatile temperament and a life he can barely tolerate—finds his uneasy calm shattered by a brutal murder that initially seems like a simple crime of passion. As a TV journalist probes the case and uncovers unsettling connections, the investigation widens into a tense collision of media, politics, and personal motive. With each late-night broadcast and hard-won clue, Haritos is forced to confront what the city hides behind its headlines. Blending sharp social observation with a fast-moving mystery, this novel explores corruption, moral ambiguity, and the uneasy power of truth when it’s packaged for public consumption.
