Forty centuries after the biblical destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, that same land on the shores of the Dead Sea opens up and a mysterious violet salt gushes forth. Its appearance changes the geography of three continents and monopolizes the interest of the market. The new substance is not served, but is served. It enslaves with its whims. It addicts with its taste. It dominates with its silent influence. Modern Sodom, the "Colony", proves to be even more cunning than its biblical version. A suffocating atmosphere envelops their well-hidden secrets, and only one person is able to uncover them: the unsuspecting Fileas Bouk, who, on a night unlike any other, will be called upon to solve the most important crossword puzzle ever devised.

"An original allegorical novel, highly fascinating and at the same time sufficiently political." Nikos Kounenis, Avgi
