When Athens journalist Nikoletta Elia disappears while on assignment on the island of Naxos, her editor calls on Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis to investigate. The reporter, assigned to report on the effects of rampant tourism on Naxos' culture and agrarian lifestyle, is approached by a fan who takes credit for several suspicious deaths she had written about in the past and suspected to be murders. The assassin claims to have changed his evil ways, but wants Nikoletta to write a series of articles about him and his myriad hits. Kaldis sends his deputy, Yianni, to investigate; then a body (not the journalist's) is found at the base of a cliff. Leads turn into more dead bodies--and finally, threats--before Kaldis finally solves the deadly puzzle.

Greece is burning, and Chief Inspector Andreas Kaldis is determined to save his country from disaster in this gripping mystery. Tasked with investigating a series of suspicious forest fires from the previous summer, Kaldis is initially concerned that he and his team are being set up to take the political blame for this year's blazes, as forest fires are a common occurrence in Greece. However, he soon suspects that the fires were deliberately set for profit, linked to a much larger scheme involving shadowy foreign powers.

With its stunning Greek settings, compelling characters, and fast-paced narrative, this international crime series is ideal for fans of celebrated authors like Donna Leon, Louise Penny, and Martin Walker. The stakes are high, and the race against time is on as Kaldis fights to protect his homeland from impending disaster.
