Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis’ longtime assistant, Maggie, returns to her ancestral home on Ikaria for the funeral of her 104-year-old grandmother. But her grief quickly turns to suspicion. Not only had her yaya been in good health just a week before her death, but there are bruises on her arm that no one can explain. When Maggie learns that several other long-lived Ikariots recently died in the same questionable circumstances, she can’t help but wonder if there’s a serial killer on the loose. Meanwhile, back in Athens, Kaldis and his chief detective, Yianni Kouros, are investigating a smuggling and protection ring embedded in the Greek Drug Enforcement Administration, and its possible involvement in the assassination of an undercover cop. As Kaldis and his team uncover a connection between the elder-killings on Ikaria and the DEA corruption case, they realize that there are international intrigues at play―which might well stretch beyond the reach of the law, and are far more dangerous than anyone had imagined . . .
