Critics Review
-
“Genelin once again makes present-day Slovakia a compelling backdrop for murder in his superb fourth novel featuring Police Commander Jana Matinova (after 2010's The Magician's Accomplice)…Genelin’s nononsense lead will appeal to fans of strong female detectives such as Kinsey Millhone, V.I. Warshawski, and Jane Tennison.”
Publishers Weekly (starred review)
-
“Rich in compelling plot twists and sobering history lessons. It also showcases Genelin’s skills as a writer.”
Washington Post
-
“This is one of the better international mystery series currently available. Make sure to suggest it to readers who also enjoy the European police novels of Helene Tursten and Donna Leon.”
Booklist
-
“Jana, one of the more intriguing characters in fictional thrillerdom, makes fallibility seem like a virtue.”

Synopsis
When the wife of one of Slovakia's most prominent businessmen is killed in a public assassination, it looks like the bullets were meant for her husband. But could the wife of Oto Bogan have actually been the target? Bogan can't comment. Both he and his son have disappeared without a trace. Commander Jana Matinova must push through her own government's secrecy to discover what connects the murder of Klara Boganova to an anonymous man run down in Paris, a dead Turk with an icepick in his eye, an international network of bank accounts, and a mysterious vagabond girl. To solve the case and stop an ongoing series of murders, Jana must travel to Berlin and Paris and look back into the darkest period of Slovak history.
