A New York Times Bestseller
1940. City of Salonika. In this ancient port a tense political drama is being played out. On the northern border‚ the Greek army has blocked Mussolini’s invasion‚ pushing his divisions back to Albania — the first defeat suffered by the Nazis‚ who have conquered most of Europe. But Adolf Hitler cannot tolerate such freedom; the invasion is coming‚ it’s only a matter of time‚ and the people of Salonika can only watch and wait.
At the center of this drama is Costa Zannis‚ a senior police official‚ head of an office that handles special “political” cases. As war approaches‚ the spies begin to circle‚ from the Turkish legation to the German secret service. There’s a British travel writer‚ a Bulgarian undertaker‚ and more. Costa Zannis must deal with them all. And he is soon in the game‚ securing an escape route — from Berlin to Salonika‚ and then to a tenuous safety in Turkey‚ a route protected by German lawyers‚ Balkan detectives‚ and Hungarian gangsters. And hunted by the Gestapo.
