A Greek journalist is tried and convicted for the murder . . . but when he's released twelve years later, he claims his confession was the result of torture. Flash forward to modern day Greece, where a young, disaffected high school student is given an assignment for a school project: find the truth. Based on the real story of famed CBS reporter George Polk -- journalism's prestigious Polk Awards were named after him -- who was investigating embezzlement of U.S. aid by the right-wing Greek government, Nikolaidou's novel is a sweeping saga that brings together the Greece of the post-war period with the current era, where the country finds itself facing turbulent political times once again. Told by key players in the story -- the dashing journalist's Greek widow; the mother and sisters of the convicted man; the brutal Thessaloniki Chief of Police; a U.S. Foreign Office investigator -- it is the modern-day student who is most affecting of them all, as he questions truth, justice and sacrifice . . . and how the past is always with us."--From publisher's website. | |
