A Deadly Game of Cat and MouseThe story takes place in Greece where Michael Matrozos has, after many years away, returned for his father’s funeral. While there, Michael visits his childhood haunts. He experiences flashbacks about growing up in Greece during the turbulent post-war years, when a Civil War was raging for many years and the times were uncertain.Michael inherits his father’s diary and notes. He finds out, to his amazement, that his father was the Head of the Naval Resistance in Greece during the German occupation from 1941 to 1944 and the sole survivor of the leadership core. Ultimately, uncovering the mystery of what happened to the Jewish Gold.Sixty thousand Jews living in the city of Thessaloniki, Greece, were rounded up at the Freedom Square in Thessaloniki and were told to bring with them two suitcases each because they were being relocated. They brought with them all the gold and jewelry they could carry for a new start. They were told to leave their belongings at the Freedom Square and were loaded into cattle cars and shipped to concentration camps where they perished. Out of the sixty thousand, less than two thousand survived.What happened to the gold they left behind, still remains a mystery today, as it was never transported to Germany.The past, however, has a way of catching up with the present. Michael finds himself entangled in a deadly cat and mouse game with the past where the historic diary and notes of his father holds the ultimate solution, but sinister forces are in the trail where the past becomes the present.
