Budapest's dark history finally catches up with Detective Balthazar
Kovacs in the final instalment in Adam LeBor's Danube Blues
Hungarian crime trilogy. Budapest, January 2016. The Danube is grey
and half-frozen, and the city seems to have gone into hibernation.
But not Detective Balthazar Kovacs. Elad Harrari, a young Israeli
historian, has disappeared. There's no sign of violence but
something feels very wrong. Harrari was working in the city's
Jewish Museum, investigating the fate of the assets of the
Hungarian Jews murdered in the Holocaust. It's clear his research
set off alarm bells at one of the country's most powerful
companies. The more Balthazar digs into the case, the more he is
certain that shadowy forces are in play. And the pressure is
building: Budapest is preparing for a major diplomatic visit - if
Harrari is not found it will be cancelled. The threats against
Balthazar soon turn to violence. It's clear that if he is to find
the historian he will have to go face-to-face with some very
dangerous people - and confront the darkest era in Hungary's past.
