A prominent doctor is found murdered by an iron rooster. The mystery is unraveled by Athena Kakouri. Petros Martinidis writes about a journalist entangled in a blackmail game that, alas, is related to the divine.
Vasilis Vasilikos takes us back to the era of dictatorship, where fear and bullying overshadowed everything. Andreas Apostolidis writes about a helicopter, a ladder, an escape, and a complex web of small and large crimes.
Titina Danelli refers to the tragic ramifications of a love story featuring three women and one man. Philippos Philipou writes about an unrecognizable Athens that blames its downfall on migrants. Nikos Gripiotis describes how criminal the yuppies can become.
Petros Markaris takes a dive into the publishing world, trying to solve the murder of an Immortal. Vasilis Danellis moves through an Athens that is burning both literally and metaphorically in its confusion. The heroes of Alexis Stamatis are a vagrant and a foreign blonde beauty who wants to build a career in a television that reflects our reality.
On a magical beach in Chios, a corpse wearing an eco-friendly t-shirt will reveal, with the help of Teukros Michailidis, secrets that everyone knows. A bullet that 'strays' from a police weapon and kills a young Roma will give Ieronymos Lykaris the opportunity to speak about the abuse of power, no matter where it comes from.
Finally, Sergios Gakkas, with a hero who is a sick, elderly leftist, will wonder how easy it is for us all to become murderers. The third collection of short stories written specifically for this edition may be the best mirror of the contradictory, sick, and at the same time blissful society we live in.
