At the heart of Codename Xenophon is the Greek nation: its history, culture and current predicament. We see a dysfunctional society through the eyes of George Zafiris, an Athens based private investigator. A thoughtful loner, he is forced to probe the heart of a failing society as he investigates a series of crimes the police show no interest in solving.

A distinguished professor of ancient history is shot dead. Then a politician dies in mysterious circumstances and a journalist is murdered. George Zafiris has to find out if these deaths are connected. A gang of Georgian thugs may know the answer.

Leo Kanaris has written a thoughtful crime mystery and has created a private investigator the Greek nation can be proud of.
