Back to the Start
A Case for Costas Haritos
Published by Diogenes as Zurück auf Start
Original Title: Titloi telous
The German-Greek Andreas Makridis is found hanged in his Athens apartment. A short while later, a letter surfaces claiming that it was murder. Signed: The Greeks of the 1950s. What looks like a bad joke turns out to be deadly serious: further murders follow.
Who’s behind this ominous organisation? Crazy old individuals demanding a return to the values of days gone by? The new case leads Costas Haritos back and forth across a city, which is becoming more dangerous with every passing day. And the Commissioner discovers this on a personal level too: his daughter Katerina is attacked by a neo-Nazi of the Golden Dawn – in the city centre, in broad daylight.

»Petros Markaris depicts Greece’s current situation as an exciting tragicomedy.«

/ Süddeutsche Zeitung, Munich
»Back to the Start is once again a novel of society, a genre portrait, wonderfully narrated and wide awake in its observation of Hellas’ hubris.«
Manuela Soboda
/ Kleine Zeitung, Graz
»Back to the Start is not just a crime novel but also a portrait of Greek society as told through a police investigation.«
