description: The open-and-shut case of a murdered Albanian couple does not at first preoccupy Inspector Costas Haritos, a veteran junta-trained homicide detective on the Athens police force. Βut when the country's young and ambitious celebrity news reporter, Janna Karayoryi, insists that the case was closed too early, Haritos becomes unnerved. Before Karayoryi's claims can be substantiated, however, she is murdered suddenly and chillingly, moments before she is to go on the air with a startling newsbreak. Did her mysterious report have something to do with the murdered Albanians? Who wanted her silenced? Caught between a bumbling junior officer and higher-ups corrupted by powerful news executives, Costas Haritos sets out to get to the bottom of the matter - and ends up neck deep in the dark form of captitalism that has emerged after the dictatorship.
