Eleni is the story of his obsessive and harrowing reconstruction of his mother's life and death and his pursuit of his mother's killer.

"A devoted and brilliant achievement. One of the rare books in which the power of art recreates the historical truth" New York Review of Books "Exciting and harrowing... An amazing achievement" -- Patrick Leigh Fermor "I cannot think of another book that so compellingly demonstrates the gradual deterioration of human values in the name of lofty goals. Minutely observed and eloquently rendered" New York Times
