Paros. Cyclades. Athens. Zurich. Summer 2018. A woman is found dead on her boat at the southern tip of Paros. Inspector Haris Kokkinos will become involved in a case that will force him to dive into the small community of the island, its dark past, strange souvenirs, and smuggling rings, into families that are the perfect criminological laboratory, and ultimately into his own depths, where light intertwines with darkness.
The disease of the little god, the new detective novel by Eftychia Giannaki, marks her return to the dark and malleable universe of Inspector Haris Kokkinos with the first installment of a new series of detective novels titled "The Trilogy of the Depths."
"He is a little god. Do you know who they call the little god?" "I have no idea." "It doesn't take much imagination." "I don't understand any of that. My mind is made only for numbers." "It is the head of a Eros. The little god is called Eros."
The acute social gaze, the immersion into human psychology, the very limits of detective literature, are at the center of a story that casts its nets from the heart of the Cyclades to all of Europe.
