Bad Credit

A Case for Costas Haritos
Published by Diogenes as Faule Kredite
Original Title: Lixiprothesma dania

The novel on the financial crisis in Greece – from best-selling author Petros Markaris. Bitterly serious and fantastically funny. The crisis has brought Greece to a standstill. No-one is keeping to normal working hours, and there are debates and protests everywhere. Demonstrations jam the streets of central Athens more than the traffic ever did. Even the Haritos family need to tighten their belt. Costas and Adriani have just paid for their only daughter's wedding and bought a new car for the first time in thirty years – and now they have no idea how they are going to pay off the instalments. Then, when two bankers are gruesomely murdered in the space of a few days, the financial world goes on high alert. Especially as the media and police are not ruling out the possibility of a terrorist attack. The hate towards the financial world seems to grow and grow: Overnight, the city is plastered with stickers encouraging citizens to refuse to pay off their loans.
