"Washed-up writer and wanderer of Athens’ nightlife, Michalis Krokos is happier watching the Johnny Depp trial than getting down to his next book. But a visit from a mysterious pro secutor with news that his friend Rebecca, sharp-tongued trans sex worker is in trouble with a violent far-right group shakes him out of his apathy. Krokos agrees to go undercover as a fake news copywriter inside the group’s inner circle: write a few lines, steal a few secrets. But what begins as a rescue mission soon spirals into sinister blackmail plots and political paranoia. Darkly comic literary noir and portrait of post-crisis Greece, Deepfake explores truth, loyalty and the absurd theatre of modern politics, against the background of a sweltering, sleepless, high-summer Athens."
