Editorial Reviews

This book is as clever and thoughtful as its title. The author delivers a real page turner with elegant prose, "powerful content and insightful thoughts. The reader is immersed into the moving and epic story of a man's honorable stance in the face of adversity and his eventual triumph. At every page, you are excited to see how the story will unfold. I gave a copy to my Canadian friend and she was impressed with the true to life insights that transcend all cultures. I look forward to reading it again and again."

"What an emotional memoir!

This story reads like a breathtaking detective that teaches humanity in the darkness of cruelty and suffering. I am so grateful for author's effort to restore the trials of his aunt Panayota. Brilliant work!

Great read for those who seek some food for soul. I'd give it seven stars."

" I couldn't put this book down! It was so well written that I am going to read it again. A must buy; An extraordinary story line taken place in a very significant time period. I loved the suspense and the fact that this was a true story. "



" The author spent 10 years researching and tracking down lost public documents and interviewing over one hundred and fifty surviving villagers to construct a fact-base story of the events. It’s told in a docu-drama style with occasional comments by the author as to the future relevance of certain events.

The storytelling is masterful, engaging the reader with rich details of life in the Greek countryside and a family’s deep sorrow and determination to bring a murderer to justice. A good read. "

" This extraordinary drama appeals to a wide audience. Not only did I enjoy this read, but my daughters (both working moms) did too! It was excellent to have these book talks with my children so they could really understand life, society, and family struggles that is a real true to life insight. Great book for a book club read. "
