Having been transferred from Athens to the island of Rhodes due to a
serious error of judgement on a murder case, resulting from his somewhat
unorthodox method of analysing evidence, the professional life of
Inspector Dimitris Karagoulis is shrouded in frustration and bitterness.
When the dead body of an English journalist is discovered on the rocks
beneath the Lindos Acropolis in late June, 2001, his initial instinct is
to assume it is a suicide. However, he soon discovers that it is murder.
As the investigation proceeds in the picturesque little tourist village,
elements of his previous unorthodox approach resurface, particularly
those related to fondness for his pet subject of Greek mythology.
Consequently, Karagoulis decides that there are two sets of conflicting
explanations for the murder - one depicted by the Greek Goddess of
deception, Apatê, and another, the truth, represented by the Goddess
Aletheia - a point which he is not slow in making to his fellow
investigating officers.
