A beautifully written thriller from the acclaimed Cold War series
writer: 'a welcome addition to the wartime ground mapped out by
Philip Kerr and Alan Furst' Guardian Prague, 1968: a young student
is captured as he tries to flee the country in the wake of Russia's
suppression of the Prague Spring. Seven years later, a People's
Militia homicide investigator boards a plane for Istanbul. When it
is hijacked by Armenian terrorists, the Turkish authorities try to
establish contact - but the plane explodes in mid-air. No
negotiation, no explanation. Why? Two investigators are assigned to
the case: Gavra Noukas, a homicide detective who lives a dangerous
double-life, and Brano Sev, an experienced secret policeman loyal
to the state. Both believe their superiors are keeping them in the
dark but neither can work out why. As they start unravelling the
elaborate mystery, though, a trail emerges - one leading back to a
seven-year-old murder, a seemingly insignificant killing with
terrifying consequences.
