Spies of the Balkans
Tuesday, June 22 at 7 PM
The master of European spy fiction and author of Spies of Warsaw takes his readers to 1940 Greece - not sunny vacation Greece, but northern Greece, Balkan Greece - the city of Salonika. In that ancient port, a tense political drama is being played out. The Greek army has blocked Mussolini's invasion on the northern border - the first defeat suffered by the Nazis, who have conquered most of Europe. But Adolf Hitler cannot tolerate such freedom; the invasion is coming, it's only a matter of time, and the people of Salonika can only watch and wait. Costa Zannis, a senior police official, is at the center of this drama.
