    Very nice. Although you suspect the murderer from the beginning, then you have doubts.... nice plot. In the end, I would have liked a little more. What happened next...

    Good book, you read it with interest BUT from the beginning of the book you suspect the culprit! for a detective book, this is the author's mistake! maybe she should have thought about it a little because it's the second book where I understand the guilty one from the beginning

    Well-made and fairly well-written, but for me, easily predictable and definitely digestible, I would probably characterize it as mainstream.

    Nice novel. Wonderful, a little predictable but one part is a bit derogatory. I'm not from Salamis, but if I were a resident on this island, the locals might get upset.
    However, it's fiction. Every author writes whatever they want

Description & Specifications

On June 14, 1987, the triumph of Greece's national team winning the EuroBasket ignites a passion among Greeks for the sport. Nikitas Fotiadis, a young talented player from a small basketball team, catches the attention of an Italian coach as an exceptional talent. In an instant, his life changes, along with that of his poor family. The joy, however, will not last long. Everything life generously gave him asks for it all back. And even more.

Twenty-one years later, on Christmas Eve of 2008, a series of particularly brutal murders in Athens disrupts the police authorities. Initial investigations show that the victims have no connection to each other; they are of different genders, live in different areas, have different personal lives, social statuses, and professions. The strangest thing, however, is that all the bodies are positioned in a crucified pose, and next to each one is a different plastic dwarf figure from the well-known fairy tale "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs."

Nikitas watches the events in shock. In the distant past, all the victims had relationships with him and among themselves that the police are unaware of. Yet he dares not speak; he is afraid. Meanwhile, Chief Inspector Sophocles Karamano, who is leading the investigations, tries to prevent the next murder. The dwarfs of the fairy tale are seven, and he holds four of them in his hands.

Who is the next dwarf they will find? Who and why is hiding behind this? Why does he leave his victims in a crucified position? Is there one murderer or more? Does Snow White have a place in this game?

"Mother, mother!" she said as she spun her around, with Akis looking on in surprise. Elpida was now truly startled. First, she disappeared for hours, and now she was acting joyful like a five-year-old. "Good for you, my son, get me down from up here, I'm dizzy!" "Promise me, mother, and it's for a good reason," the young man said as he helped her down and kissed her on the cheek. "Alright, I'll promise you, but first tell me why you were late. You know you scared me to death?" "I was late for a good reason, mother, I'll tell you everything. Come, sit at the table." "Let me set the table first, my child, so your father can come back too. Where on earth is the good man?" "Really, where is father?" "He went to the café to have a coffee and still hasn't returned. Won't you go call him while I warm up the food? It's getting late." "I'm going and I'll also bring some wine to celebrate." Nikitas left as he came in, like a whirlwind, and Elpida was left looking at Akis. "You tell me what you think is happening and he's so happy?" she asked him.
