Daughter. Bill collector. Frequent couch potato. Law-abiding (mostly) American citizen. Unwitting heir to Greece's largest criminal organization …
DISORGANIZED CRIME: Kat Makris was a little girl when her father spun wild and outrageous bedtime stories about Baboulas, the Greek boogeyman, a lawless creature with a penchant for stealing gold and clashing with the gods.
Now Kat is twenty-eight, single, a couch potato in a cube farm, when her father goes missing. Without him, she's alone in the world. Before the police can work their mojo, she herself is abducted by a couple of hoods with crooked noses, and she quickly discovers her father's old stories were true — true crime, that is. Baboulas is an infamous mob boss in Greece, and Baboulas is the one who has Kat holed up in a private plane bound for Greece.
Now, to find her father, Kat must face the boogeyman …
TRUEISH CRIME: With her father still missing, and no news or ransom demands, Kat Makris is sweating under the blistering Greek sun. But when her grandmother receives a mysterious puzzle box from one of the Family's most questionable allies, Kat's not even remotely prepared for the worst.
Kat's quest to find her father takes her from the vertigo-inducing heights of Meteora to Greece's pebbled beaches, with a growing number of assassins on her tail. Kat's presence in Greece means times are a-changing, and Grandma's enemies hate change — unless it turns a tidy profit. The last thing they want is an unknown quantity shoehorned into Grandma's tattered, black slippers.
As an all-round decent person, one without a rap sheet, it's not what Kat wants, either. But Grandma has plans …
DOING CRIME: With Grandma's second best henchman and his wife tagging along, Kat Makris is back in Portland to untangle some of her kidnapped father's secrets. However, she gets sidetracked when she discovers her house is one corpse less empty than it was when she left. To complicate things, a pair of American cops are snooping around, asking questions about her missing father and a fellow detective they can't seem to locate …
When it becomes apparent that her father's secrets extend beyond the small safe in the bathroom wall, Kat races back to Greece, where she discovers the sexy, and very-very-bad-for-her, Detective Nikos Melas has been involved in a deadly stakeout. And Grandma has a new/old enemy who wouldn't mind getting cozy with Kat, especially now that Grandma's reign is growing shorter by the day.
It's a long, hot Greek summer and the bodies are stacking up … and exploding. Everyone on the dark side wants Kat to play on their team. Kat's just trying to find her dad. What's a mostly decent woman to do, and what are these green bits in Grandma's cookies?
