A proposito di questo titolo
Burnt-out from policework, Detective Sergeant George Manolis flies from Australia to Greece for a holiday. Recently divorced and mourning the death of his father, who emigrated from the turbulent Prespes region which straddles the borders of Greece, Albania and North Macedonia, Manolis hopes to reconnect with his roots and heritage.
"A brilliant new name in Australian crime" Weekend Australian
On arrival, Manolis learns of the disappearance of an 'invisible' - a local man who lives without a scrap of paperwork. The police and some locals believe the man's disappearance was pre-planned, while others suspect foul play. Reluctantly, Manolis agrees to work undercover to find the invisible, and must navigate the complicated relationships of a tiny village where grudges run deep.
"Papathanasiou writes unsparingly, confidently, and compellingly" The Quietus
It soon becomes clear to Manolis that he may never locate a man who, for all intents and purposes, doesn't exist. And with the clock ticking, the ghosts of the past continue to haunt the events of today as Manolis's investigation leads him to uncover a dark and long-forgotten practice.
"Detective Sergeant George Manolis is a great new addition to the Australian crime scene" EMMA VISKIC, award-winning author of the Caleb Zelic crime series

Recensioni della critica
Like The Stoning, the new book shows [Papathanasiou's] ability to combine suspense, politics and lyrical descriptive writing (Joan Smith)
This second Manolis thriller is a wonderful evocation of a little-known part of Europe with spectacular scenery and dangerous wildlife, not to mention equally dangerous Balkan criminals on the loose. Highly recommended. (Myles McWeeney)
Detective Sergeant George Manolis is a great new addition to the Australian crime scene (Emma Viskic)
A brilliant new name in Australian crime (Cheryl Akle)
Papathanasiou writes unsparingly, confidently, and compellingly.
Political crime fiction of the highest order (Joan Smith)
The author effortlessly transports his reader to Southern Europe's borderlands, where a tragic past haunts the villages and towns, fuelling the mystery at the heart of the novel. This is first-rate crime fiction. (Andrew Pippos)
Marvellous . . . Exciting . . . A great read (Mark Sanderson)
The Invisible continues an assured, propulsive and atmospheric new series that crime fiction fans will devour (Sydney Morning Herald)
This story of a difficult investigation is an unusual and interesting contribution to the genre. (Natasha Cooper)
A wonderful evocation of life in the region with spectacular scenery and fearsome wildlife and equally dangerous criminals. Highly recommended. (Miles McWeeney)
This second novel is very different from the first, a difference that reflects the range of Papathanasiou's talents. The narrative contains some lovely descriptive writing that evokes the beauty of this remote landscape. Students of ethnography are particularly likely to enjoy the setting, since it is at the junction of three cultures and three distinct histories that all feed into the development of the story (Alison Booth)
It's a fascinating and entirely effective replacement for the desert hellscape setting of Papathanasiou's debut, The Stoning, and he peoples the rugged landscape with plausible characters who each have their own reasons for preferring a life lived on the fringes of 21st-century society (Angus Batey)
While the tone is very different to The Stoning, The Invisible is every bit as enjoyable and Papathanasiou is displaying his diverse talents early on in his career as a novelist (Anne Cunningham)
Papathanasiou adds considerably to the crime literature defined as Australian. He has his own individuality and represents a successful amalgam of Greek and Australian literature. The writing is vivid and atmospheric. The characters are superbly drawn. Papathanasiou doesn't pull any punches as he takes a clear-eyed look at hypocrisies old and new (Ian Lipke)
Gripping (Lisa Howells)
Sumptuously written (Readings Monthly)
It has a lot more richness and meaning than your standard thriller. And the reader is seriously enlightened. It will stay with you (Peter Donoughue)
