Description

The rain grows stronger hour by hour, as if determined to wash away all the filth of the earth. The wind is so fierce that the old house shakes to its foundations. The neighborhood dogs are howling at the thunder and lightning. And then there is that bad dream, with blood flowing like a river…

October 1994. The storm sweeps through Athens at night, as the young theologian brutally murders three people and disappears into the darkness.

January 1998. In a trap set as a meeting, the shipowner and his secretary fall victim to a kidnapping.

An invisible thread connects the two stories, and as it gradually unravels, it brings a devious plot to light.

The investigation plunges into the depths of the underworld and the Sicilian mafia, breaks the code of silence, and reveals a series of heinous crimes.

From the dark prisons of Diavata to the luxurious villas of the southern suburbs, and from Athens and Piraeus to Taormina and Monte Carlo, Angeliki Nikolouli's book explores the nature of evil in a world of violence, fear, and deeply hidden secrets.

A gripping thriller with breathtaking twists, inspired by a sensational true story.

A few words about the author:

Aggeliki Nikolouli

Angeliki Nikolouli is an acclaimed journalist-investigator who made history as the first woman to work in crime reporting in Greece.

Since 1995, she has hosted the legendary show “Light in the Tunnel” (SKAI, ALTER, ALPHA, MEGA), achieving exceptionally high television ratings that reached up to 70%. Through her relentless research, she has contributed to the solving of 32 murders, while also bringing to light dozens of dark cases that had been neglected by the authorities. To date, in 1,015 episodes of “Tunnel,” over 1,870 missing persons have been found, an achievement that has earned her a place in the Guinness Book of Records twice.

The reputation of her work has spread abroad, with television networks from France, Italy, Russia, and other countries dedicating airtime to her. The Japanese even chose “Light in the Tunnel” among shows from 40 countries as an example of outstanding social contribution.

She has been honored with 25 awards and distinctions, including those from the Hellenic Police and the European Union, and was named a Goodwill Ambassador by the governor of Tennessee.

Her career began in print journalism (Paratiritis, Apogevmatini, Ethnos, Eleftheros Typos, etc.), where she signed important reports such as:

  • The activities and interview with the “dragon” Kyriakos Papachronis.

  • Her contribution to the discovery and arrest of the “dragon” of the southern and northern suburbs, Spyros Beskos.

  • The revelation of the EYP wiretapping scandal, for which she testified in the Hellenic Parliament.

Her close contact with the Emergency Response Center (“100”) inspired the book “The Spicy Stories of 100” (1990), while her books based on true stories are published by Kastaniotis Editions: I Dreamed of Your Killer (2012), Death with Red Lips (2013), Killer Love (2016), and I Will Become Your Shadow (2020).

She is the mother of Konstantinos Mousoulis, a film director, screenwriter, and author.
