Description
When two murders surface in Athens—seemingly unrelated but destined to collide—Inspector Kostas Haritos is pulled from a rare island break into a case that runs through the city’s most volatile arenas. As the investigation draws him toward the shadowy intersections of football, politics, and organised crime, Haritos must navigate shifting loyalties, coded motives, and the kind of violence that leaves no clean answers. With its brisk pacing and sharp, street-level realism, the novel blends crime plotting with a keen look at power, public spectacle, and the systems that protect the guilty. Written in the distinctive, wry style associated with Petros Markaris, this is a tense, atmospheric thriller that turns everyday Athens into a battleground of secrets.
