Nicolas Katzogiannis became well-known in Greece primarily because of Eleni, his legendary book that aroused passions when it was first published.

But beyond his writing career, Katzogiannis is a highly distinguished journalist who had a brilliant career at the New York Times and other American newspapers. For many years, he focused on investigative journalism. His reports on the Mafia made a lasting impact and were captured in two highly successful books.

Katzogiannis has the ability to always look "behind the curtains," while simultaneously making the reader feel as if they are behind them. The way he describes characters and behaviors, the research that can take him even to the childhood of his protagonists, and the faithful reproduction of the atmosphere that prevailed at that moment ultimately compose a captivating puzzle.
