Spies of the Balkans by Alan Furst

4.0

Elegant way to learn a little about Greece in the Second World War. Structured in a low-key, episodic style, this never picks up into an intricate thrill ride of a spy story, but I enjoyed the protagonist Zannis and his mountain sheep dog Melissa. Zannis is a 'fixer' in the city of Salonika, the guy on the police department who is called to handle the most delicate problems with discretion and the help of a large number of contacts, a network of sorts.
