2010'The remote, uninhabited island of Falconera almost half way between Athens and Crete is the focus of daring exploits in the last months of World War II. If the German munitions fleet succeeds in reinforcing the German army on Crete the Occupation will continue, prolonging the war. The British navy can stop this fleet only if they can locate it, information that only can be provided by a small schooner from the Greek Schooner Raiding Flotilla. The story is fiction but the setting real. The author, Alexis Ladas, was a 24 year old captain on a Greek Raiding Schooner in 1944. The little known Greek Schooner Raiding Flotilla in World War II; its bases in Alexandria, Egypt and Deremen, Turkey; its only slightly disguised commander; and the feelings of the books hero in war were very real indeed. The author wrote what he lived. On one level, this book is a gripping romance and a suspense-filled tale of action. It is also a fount of information about the Aegean, sailing in the Aegean, and Greek sailing lore." 318 pages, 4 maps Book
2004"Hard-nosed yet ultimately endearing, Costas Haritos is a veteran junta-trained homicide detective on the Athens police force. He is uncomfortably married, can"t stand his daughter"s boyfriend, and after a day of constant gridlock and smog, tight-lipped witnesses, and the relentless crush of the media, he relaxes by reading dictionaries. When an Albanian husband and wife are found dead in their home, Inspector Haritos is called to what seems to be an open-and-shut case. For the Greek police, two dead Albanians are hardly a matter of concern, and after the primary suspect confesses under duress, the case is closed. But when the country"s celebrity TV news reporter, Janna Karayoryi, hints that there may be more to it, Haritos becomes unnerved. He doesn"t exactly like the ambitious young journalist, much less the ruthless way she has risen to the top; but could she be right in thinking the murder has something to do with babies? Before Haritos can find out, Janna is silenced suddenly and chillingly, moments before she is to go on the air with a startling newsbreak. Did her mysterious report have something to do with the murdered Albanians? Who wanted her out of the way and why? Caught between a bumbling junior officer and higher-ups all too easily influenced by news executives who are determined to protect their own, Costas Haritos sets out to get to the bottom of the matter-and ends up exploring a dark underworld of post-dictatorship capitalism."

It is a place that you will never forget."198p. bibliography Book
