The Nameless Dead by Leta Serafim is a wonderful story about Chief Inspector Yiannis Patrónas, who is just your everyday person and a policeman. He started his career hoping to make a difference, but living on the island of Chios was a fairly simple life. Then the refugees started to come, and with it the seedy world of human trafficking, especially of children, combined with the murder of those who go against them. Patrónas takes it upon himself to do something when he discovers the body of a young girl who was murdered, rescues a young child from the sea, and finds that the life jacket his mother was wearing was stuffed with newspaper, and that is why she drowned. Patrónas and his assistants Giorgos Tembelos and Melissa Costas decide to go to Turkey to find out what is going on and to bring the murderer of the young girl to justice.
The Nameless Dead by Leta Serafim is a book that, when you start reading it, is very hard to put down. The reader will find that they always want to know more, even when the team is heading into real danger, and wondering whether they will survive. The truth comes out in the end. This book is well worth it. It brings to light in the most everyday way what is actually happening with the refugees and how the criminal world exploits these poor people. I enjoyed learning about the life of Patrónas; he proved to be a most unexpected man. The author makes the reader feel that these characters are real people. Patrónas and his assistants, in their own unique ways, work as a team to unravel the murder. Through their affiliation with the victim, they take on all comers, no matter what the actual danger is to themselves. I am looking forward to reading more books by Leta Serafim.
