When the body of a boy from one of Greece's most prominent families turns up dead in a dumpster in one of Athens' worst neighborhoods, Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of the Greek Police's Special Crimes Division is certain there's a message in the murder. But who sent it and why? Andreas' investigation takes him deep into the sordid criminal side of Athens nightiife, face-to-face with the nasty realities of its bohemian-lifestyle Exarchia district, and on to the glittering world of Athens society where age-old frictions between old money and new breed political realities once thought unimaginable. It is a portrait of our time.
