SOS from Heraklion.
Our position: 36 ° 52´ B., 24 ° 08´ A. We are sinking!

The ship’s radio is silent, as are the voices of the passengers. Irene and the Apostle, who started their life journey, are now fighting to save it. The battle with the asymmetric enemy is great and unequal. Who will be saved? Who will be lost?

Modern times.
Artemis, three days after her grandmother’s death, discovers some faded newspapers from another era. In the foreground is the wreck of “Heraklion”. The woman facing in the circled photo reminds her of her grandmother. Same name, same person, but different last name. Unbeknownst to her, she holds a skein of thorny threads, which, as it unfolds, its thorns sink deep into her heart.

Kythira, Athens, Paris. A mysterious triangle, a journey that never ended.
Critics

“I was left in the waves of the storm, I wandered in Kythira and Paris, I got drunk with perfumes. I opened the windows of my heart to let the joys enter, for the creature of forgiveness and love to smell. And all this on the occasion of this book. In the hands of Petroulakis, even the most dangerous journey can give pleasure to the reader. ”

Alkyoni Papadaki Author

“Against the background of the shipwreck of the Heraklion ferry, which shocked the nation in December 1966, Spyros Petroulakis masterfully builds an atmospheric novel, which alternates in two time periods and keeps all the emotion and charge until the end. order is overthrown and tragedy is repeated in modern forms. Historiographically verified information, twists and turns that recycle emotion and charge and return them to the reader in a very interesting story of invisible heroes of life. Worth to read! “
