"The femicide perpetrators hold the keys to our homes" is one of the characteristic slogans of movements against gender-based violence. In the forty-five years I have served in police and judicial reporting, "apprenticing" alongside all kinds of offenders, I can confirm this.

Nominated for the public-voted Skroutz Book Awards 2026.
This book of mine, my eighth in order, covers femicides that shocked the entire country and remained in the spotlight of the Greek media for a long time.
Some of these took place abroad (such as Caroline’s murder by her pilot husband, as well as the brutal murders of Garifallia in Folegandros, university student Eleni Topaloudi in Rhodes, and Kyriaki outside the Agioi Anargyroi Police Station in Attica).
All are true cases and contain no fictional scenes or elements. They took place in Athens, Thessaloniki, and various other parts of Greece, up to and including the 2020s. Readers will also find murders of women from earlier eras that are particularly striking to younger generations.
Here are a few examples: A farmer killed his wife because she gave birth only to girls. Another killed his wife because dinner was not ready when he got home from work. Another wife-killer drowned his wife in a wine barrel because, he claimed, she got drunk; immediately after her forty-day memorial, he remarried. Another man sexually abused a woman he had imprisoned in his home, while his wife videotaped every scene!
