Athens, 2026 Two years after being elected to the most powerful office in the country, Prime Minister Theodor Delios finds himself in a cell, imprisoned for no crime ever clearly named. What remains to him is his voice. Through a relentless monologue of intelligence, pride and chilling self-awareness, Delios reconstructs the world that formed him. Privilege is claimed as a right. Status is inherited and sustained through generations of nepotism. Corruption is tolerated. Laws are expected to bend before power. Yet as he speaks, his defence hardens into something darker. When his solicitor Ignatius appears, another truth begins to surface. Legitimate Crimes is a political novel of psychological force and contemporary consequence in Western democracies. It returns to the question first posed in The Republic by Plato. When power defines justice, who is protected by law?
