Summer of 2018: a very elderly retired judge decides to narrate his memories, experiences, and loves to a doctoral student. A person with a completely iconoclastic view of the historical past of the place... Who lived through unimaginably horrific situations during the occupation and the early post-occupation years... Who happened to have privileged access to information related to the Merten case, the notorious "Butcher of the Jews"... Who was involved in the execution of the "Dragon of Seikh Sou"... Who, after the fall of the Junta, moved heaven and earth not to try torturers... Who participated, however, in the composition of the court that was formed for Andreas Papandreou... Who is connected, by some dark bond, to a survivor of the fire in Mati... And who, above all, carries a terrible secret, an unhealed sense of guilt... This is the hero of the new novel by Thanasis Diamantopoulos, in which fiction and history intertwine, while situations of unimaginable brutality coexist with the purest human feelings, friendship, companionship, and passionate loves, of yesterday and today...
