Times of Hypocrisy
The owner of a hotel chain is found dead in a spa resort near Athens. An anonymous letter claims responsibility and accuses him of hypocrisy. Signed: ›The Army of National Idiots‹.
It is the first murder in a grotesque series. The accusation is always the same, but the victims could hardly be more different. Costas Haritos – a brand new proud grand- father – tries to track down the obscure fanatics.
