During the night, a motor yacht crashed into the rocks in this picturesque spot. Three people are dead. The head of the Kissamos police station assumes it was a tragic accident, likely involving alcohol. But the son of the boat owner, whose fiancée was killed, believes it was a targeted murder. In their investigation, Michalis and his colleague Koronaios uncover a web of revenge and helpless despair, and for the first time, Michalis is forced to use his service weapon. biography Nikos Milonás, also known as Frank D.
