Lie in the Dark

Investigator Petric makes his living from the dead. Lately business has been slow, what with the siege around Sarajevo. Condoned killing has displaced the crime of passion; his services with the civil police as a homicide investigator have been less in demand. Unluckily one premeditated death does land on the detective's desk - that of the chief of the interior ministry's police - shot dead at close range. Brilliantly rendering the underworld of Sarajevo at war, this thriller follows one man's desperate, deadly pursuit of the wrong people in the worst places.
