Breaking the Cross is a tale of corruption, racism and neo-fascism
in post-communist Hungary. Charlie Barrow (who featured in my first
thriller A Wicked Device) is a British journalist working out of
Budapest. He uncovers a plot by Colonel Mihaly Kozma, the top man
in state security, to return the country to totalitarianism. Kozma
aims to revive the Arrow Cross, the Hungarian Nazis who held power
in the last months of World War II. He has friends in high places
and in the mafia, helping him to bankroll a private army through
dodgy business deals. They use this to kidnap Roma (gypsies) for
slave labour in their camps. Barrow's allies are Captain Peter
Kovacs and Sergeant Sandor Ubul, police officers in a squad
assigned to root out illegal immigrants. This brings them into
contact with Coro, a young Roma who suffers Arrow Cross brutality
and provides much of the evidence needed to nail Kozma. As they
probe further, they meet success and tragedy. Charlie gets his
story but wonders - was it worth it?
