Haritos buries himself in work, but soon he has to pay the price for not looking after himself: His heart goes on strike, and Haritos is taken to hospital. His only consolation: His daughter Katerina comes from Thessaloniki to be at his bedside. She too suffers from heart problems – if of a different kind ...

Quotes

»Markaris paints a tremendously living picture of today's Athens. With wit, charm and irony, he recounts an enthralling, intricately woven crime story, peopled by extremely realistic characters. This is a world where there are no simple distinctions between good and evil.«Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
