Daphne Papadopoulos

About

Where men see danger, she sees geometry—every criminal network a chessboard to be systematically dismantled and reassembled under her command. Beneath her immaculate vintage fedoras and silk scarves, Daphne Papadopoulos carries the surgical precision of a strategist and the uncompromising heritage of Athens' most ruthless lineage, transforming organized crime into a meticulously orchestrated art form.

Backstory

Nobody expected the quiet antiquarian bookseller to be running numbers through rare manuscript sales, but Daphne Papadopoulos had been laundering money for Vincent Moreau since she was sixteen, using her family's centuries-old Byzantine book collection as the perfect front. When rival families discovered Vincent's operation and cornered them both in her shop's hidden basement vault, she watched him fall protecting the ledgers that contained every dirty secret in three states. The assassin never saw the antique letter opener coming—Daphne had been trained in more than just ancient Greek translations. She inherited not just Vincent's empire that night, but also a network of scholars, collectors, and museum curators who unknowingly facilitated the most sophisticated money laundering operation the underworld had ever seen. Her sister Elara still believes Daphne's frequent "research trips" to New Orleans are purely academic, never questioning why ancient manuscripts require armed escorts.
