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. It is no abused lover or a distant sniper`s victim but a government official - the chief of the interior ministry`s police - shot dead at close range.In a thriller that recalls the first excitement of Martin Cruz Smith`s Moscow and the Vienna of Graham Greene`s The Third Man, author Dan Fesperman brilliantly renders the fragmented society and underworld of Sarajevo at war - the freelancing gangsters, guilty bystanders, drop-in correspondents, the bureaucrats frightened for their jobs and very lives - and he weaves through this torn cityscape one man`s desperate, deadly pursuit of the wrong people in the worst places.
