When half-Greek, half-Scots private investigator Alex Mavros is asked to trace a missing teenager, an immigrant of the former Soviet Union, he doesn't see any connection with the recent plague of violent killings afflicting Athens. As his search plunges him deep into the intricate network of underground crime, he is confronted by a wall of gang-inspired silence. One lead, however, takes him into a criminal organisation trading in illegal antiquites. As he follows the trail to the missing girl, he discovers that the present day killings have their roots in the brutal civil war. And that he has put himself in grave danger...

Format:Paperback
Johnston's book has the courage to build slowly and doesn't feel the need to splash you with lots of blood in the opening pages. Reading it, therefore, requires some patience but this is an intelligent piece of Crime writing that repays the time invested. Not bad at all.

This was one in a triology by the author Alex Mavros.
I enjoy series of books like these as you can relate to the characters and places within the stories.
Each one of the series is most interesting, and to read basically a thriller written around the Greek culture also educates on the geography of the place.
A author I have never read before, and one I will continue to read in the future.
