About the author
Dimitrios Tsakmakis is a carpenter's son from Athens. After school he served in the army as a special forces paratrooper, and since 2008 he has served in the Hellenic Police, including seven years in its counter-terrorism unit and work as a tactical instructor. He writes these volumes as letters to the children he hopes to have, after his father's dementia showed him how completely what a person knows can disappear. He lives in Athens with his wife.
