Sent to the island of Naxos on assignment, Athenian journalist Nikoletta Elia is surprised to be approached by a man claiming to be responsible for several suspicious deaths she’d reported on in the past. The assassin convinces Nikoletta to write about him and his murderous exploits for hire—but then she disappears . . .

Her editor calls on Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis of Greece’s Special Crimes Division to find her. But just when Kaldis has sent his deputy, Yianni Kouros, to investigate her disappearance, an unidentified body is found at the base of a cliff. Who is the mysterious corpse, and where is Nikoletta?

Leads turn into more dead bodies, and soon Kaldis and his squad find themselves in the path of a ruthless killer who’ll stop at nothing to keep dark secrets buried—forever.
