This is the third book featuring Greek tough private detective Plato Cartessis who is involved in a murder case when his business card is discovered by the Police in the pocket of a dead little man, executed with five bullets right outside his house - the same little man who had approached him two hours ago at a book presentation, crowded by fans of the author, told him he had a "case", but fled after grabbing Plato's card, as if scared away by something he had seen. Plato is taken to the crime scene where he explains to Captain Politis, in charge of the investigation, what his connection with the dead man was. Upon leaving the crime scene, a beautiful Ukrainian girl hidden in a dark street calls Plato's name, explains to him in broken Greek that the "case" the little man had mentioned concerned her, but before telling the whole story, Plato is attacked from behind by two men and left unconscious. When he recovers his senses, the girl has disappeared leaving behind, either on purpose or by accident, her cheap cell phone. Using that, Plato, contrary to police advice, will throw himself into a life-risking investigation that results in the revelation of a most inhuman enterprise - trafficking.

In a case out of the blue, private detective Plato Cartessis, assisted by the police, tries to solve a riddle of four words, unrelated to each other, whispered to him by a man breathing his last at his doorstep, literally in his arms, with four bullets in the back, unaware that the people behind the murder would stop at nothing in order to accomplish their final goal. Once more, he has to place his life at stake and this time all the odds are against him!
