Now in protective sleeve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA searing, \"fantastic documentary\" of a political assassination that shocked a nation and became a global symbol of resistance.\n\nFirst published in Greece in 1966 and promptly banned by the military junta, Z is a thinly veiled, high-tension account of the 1963 assassination of democratic politician Grigoris Lambrakis. The title refers to the Greek word Zei—\"He Lives\"—a slogan that was scrawled on walls across Athens as a defiant tribute to the fallen leader.\n\nVassilikos weaves a masterful narrative that blends the cold facts of a police investigation with the emotional depth of a novel. The story follows a dedicated magistrate as he peels back the layers of a conspiracy involving the police, the military, and a shadowy extremist group. Through a kaleidoscopic array of perspectives, the novel captures the paranoia of a society on the brink of collapse and the enduring power of the human spirit to seek justice against all odds.\n\nIn a world where the truth is a dangerous weapon, Z remains a chillingly relevant exploration of power, corruption, and the cry for freedom that cannot be silenced.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763144536283,"sku":"2026200005323-SECONDHAND","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e0a95b63-5530-4e76-9685-287d48495599.png?v=1778499487","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005323-secondhand-z","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
