What follows is a journey by car toward Special Branch Headquarters, and the interrogation that undoubtedly awaits him there. With their destination approaching, oppressed and oppressor come face to face with their deepest human feeling, locked in a game of psychological skill. As the plot slowly unravels, so, too, do its main players.  Part thriller and part political satire, The Flaw is as powerful today as it was when first published in 1965, foretelling the military dictatorship that would take hold of Greece only two years later. It is the best-known work of Antonis Samarakis and has been translated into more than thirty languages, winning the prestigious 1970 Grand Prix de Litt\u00e9rature Polici\u00e8re in France. This new translation marks the fiftieth anniversary of the novel\u2019s publication in English.    &nbsp;  A real masterpiece. A story of the psychological struggle between two secret police agents and their suspect told with wit, imagination and quite outstanding technical skill. \u2014 Graham Greene  A very fine piece of writing. The Flaw has great psychological interest. \u2014 Agatha Christie  A powerful work. I only wish some people who profess democracy would read The Flaw and see what it is they actually support. \u2014 Arthur Miller  Samarakis \u2026 you change your mind over and over about what looks so simple at first. All this technique never flaunts itself but dovetails smoothly, and without strain. The mood in The Flaw is miles from the usual supercharged world of spy thrillers. \u2014 New York Times  The Flaw... has wheel within wheels. A remarkable tour de force. \u2014 Arthur Koestler The Observer"}
