Chi muove gli omicidi che mano a mano vengono scoperti in altri luoghi sacri dell’Antica Grecia? Un domino sorprendente si snoda quando l’Intelligence Nazionale cerca di scovare i colpevoli. Un incredibile intreccio di fratellanze e di rivalità si svolge ad Atene da decenni e si articola tra Germania, Antartide, Grecia e Israele… E il 'piano' è ancora là, ha superato i secoli, ha sfidato le epoche e adesso si presenta al lettore che capirà che i vertici del triangolo non sono casuali, che assolutamente nulla è casuale, tutto è ciclico…. E che dal Caos nasce sempre l’ordine… E dappertutto un riferimento, un segreto, che ancora una volta, nell'eterna lotta tra bene e male, dovrà essere risolto in Grecia, là dove tutto è nato e dove tutto comincia…Past Imperfect: A novel by the creator of DOWNTON ABBEY and BELGRAVIA
