Whilst it is an indictment of the wartime collaboration and subsequent profiteering to which many countries turned a blind eye, and whilst it also underlines the extent of anti-Semitism still existing in Greece and elsewhere today, the novel also contains accounts of working life in the concentration camps and how survival of some Jews might depend on their working for the SS and even sending one's own family members to their deaths in the gas chambers. This is the latest outing for half-Greek, half-Scottish Private Investigator, Alex Mavros. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 600 10 Mavros, Alex |c(Fictitious character) |vFiction. 650 0 Private investigators |zGreece |zThessalonikē |vFiction. 655 7 Novels. |2lcgft 800 1 Johnston, Paul, |d1957- |tAlex Mavros series. 852 0 |bstacks |hPR6060.O417 |iB53 2013
