A decorated, retired brigadier living in Cyprus is murdered, and his widow invites a brilliant young criminologist to stay in the family home until he finds out who did it. As you'd expect, the family has a lot of skeletons in its closet.
Greece has never been a country famous for its thrillers, but here is an acceptable imitation of "the real thing" (i.e., those made in the US, the UK, or even Italy). The plot is busy enough with red herrings, the direction fairly atmospheric, and the cast pretty solid, with Melpo Zarokosta particularly cute and likable as the criminologist's young female assistant. Worth a look if you can find it (my version was in Greek with English subtitles). **1/2 out of 4.
