The first in the Stratos Gazis mystery series and the first time this Greek novelist is available in English.
Stratos hates being called a hitman. A conscientious fixer is what he is. He fixes problems that very few can deal with. Things that people are willing to pay handsomely to get done, without wanting to know about the small stuff. Stratos is their man, provided that his meticulous research shows him that the targets deserve their fate. As he says, "I'm a kind of Robin Hood. I hunt down the villains. And I rob them. Of their lives."
But now, in the midst of the Greek economic and political crisis, this film-noir loving assassin takes on the highest-profile case of his career. He finds himself caught between the most beloved lawyer in Greece, known as "the guardian of the poor," and his actress wife, the most desirable woman in the country. They are both in dire need of his killing services, but which one is telling the truth?
Helped by three childhood friends - Costas Dragas, a homicide cop; Teri, a transsexual high-class hooker; and Maria, the passion of his life - he discovers that truth, in shattered loves and broken families, is, as ever, a relative thing.
