Produktinformationen zu „Spies of the Balkans “
Salonika, 1940. To the bustle of tavernas and the smell of hashish, a secret waris taking shape. In the backrooms of barbers, envelopes change hands, and in the Club de Salonique the air is thick with whispers. Costa Zannis is the city's dashing chief detective - a man with contacts high and low, in the Balkans and
beyond. And as unknown ships and British 'travel writers' trickle through the
port, he is a man very much in demand. Having helped defeat Italy in the
highlands of Macedonia, Zannis returns to a city holding its breath. Mussolini's
forces have retreated - for now - but German sights are fixed firmly on the
region. And as the situation in Germany worsens, Zannis becomes involved in an
audacious plot - smuggling Jews to Istanbul, through the back door of Europe.
The British hear he can penetrate the continent's closed borders, and soon
Zannis is embroiled in the resistance, and in a reckless love affair that could
jeopardise everything...
