“Readers hungry for a fresh crime setting will be enormously satisfied with Michael Genelin’s Jana Matinova novels based in Bratislava, Slovakia, a place relatively unknown to Westerners ... Matinova goes head-to-head with a beloved childhood friend whose budding political career is in crash mode because of an affair ... The portrayal of life in post-Communist Slovakia is riveting.”
—USA Today
“[A] gripping novel with a truly original central character ...”
—The Globe and Mail
