Athens 1936
The leaders of the conservative faction are dying suddenly one after the other. Kondylis, Demertzis, Tsaldaris. The press talks about heart attacks. But is it really so? A young doctor from the Forensic Service, Antonis Tzanetis, suspects a conspiracy.

During the same period, Eleftherios Venizelos passes away in Paris. The political climate in the country is polarized, as successive elections, strikes, the events of May in Thessaloniki, and the intrigues of the Palace pave the way for the dictatorship of August 4th. In Europe, the tone is set by the Berlin Olympics, the Spanish Civil War, and the Moscow Trials.

Parallel to the international developments that will lead to World War II, Antonis Tzanetis and his beloved Maria Vounopoulou become partners in life and in struggles, experiencing their love, which is inevitably marked by the tense political situation in Greece.

A historical novel that brings to life some of the most critical moments the country has known.
