A man with no identity wakes up in an Athens hospital after several days in a coma. He has been shot in the head and has lost his speech. When he tries to record what he remembers on a laptop to give to the police, he realizes that no one can help him. He erases everything he has typed and decides to take the law into his own hands for one last time.
A car crashes into a stopped bus on the Larnaca-Nicosia motorway. The driver is killed and the autopsy reveals a bullet hole in his skull. A corrupt detective working for the Russian mafia searches for a valuable missing package to blackmail his boss and save his skin from the Albanian loan sharks who are after him.

His investigation leads him to Cyprus and to a private clinic that dispenses unlicensed drugs to its VIP clients.
An exciting novel with noir elements, full of surprises, twists and strange puzzles, set in Greece and Cyprus, alternating between past and present – until the future inevitably arrives.
