STORM IN MACEDONIA

STORM IN MACEDONIA

“… extortions of innocent and unarmed persons, robberies, murders of men and women, merciless martyrdoms of priests, doctors and teachers. mutilations of corpses, burning of churches, anarchist dynamite against every friend of law and order. annihilation of Orthodox Christians and Muslims, terrorism, bloodshed from killings, looting..."
A handful of fanatical patriots will propose a guerilla war and, with volunteer leader Petros Kallergis, will risk their lives to liberate this "distant" part of Greece. Will they be able to protect the Macedonians from the Bulgarian "genocide", until better days arrive and they are able to settle accounts with the Turks?

Detective literature began in Greece [...] with Maska magazine [...]. Jimmy Korinis is one of Maska's best-known names and perhaps the only one still writing detective novels to this day.
Petros Markaris

0 Jimmy Korinis, the man behind the Mask, is one of the forefathers of the Greek detective story. He transferred to Greek the style and atmosphere of the classics of the genre (Hamet, Chandler, Gardner).
