Lindos Aletheia

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.
