<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A severed head found on the border of Greece and Turkey. A maverick investigation of human trafficking and rampant corruption.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>A severed head is found on the Greek border near a wall planned to stop Middle Eastern immigrants crossing from Turkey. Intelligence Agent Evangelos wants the truth about the murder, human trafficking into Greece, and about the corruption surrounding the wall's construction. It is a mystery novel and a political thriller but more importantly it evokes the problems of the West incarnated in Greece: isolationism, fear of immigration, economic collapse, and corruption. While dark, it is also poetic and paints an indelible portrait of Athens, with its mixed fragrances of eucalyptus, freshly baked bread, and cigarette smoke.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p> A political debate familiar to American and European readers undergirds Swiss author Verdan's stellar U.S. debut. <em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em> </p> <p> A tight mystery that doubles as an informative political thriller.
