Upon reaching the tumultuous 1980s, Olen Steinhauers literary crime series set in Eastern Europe comes full circle as one of the Peoples Militias earliest cases reemerges to torment its inspectors, including militia chief Emil Brod, the original detective on the case.His arrest of a revolutionary leader in the late 1940s resulted in the politicians imprisonment, but at the time Brod was too young to understand how great the cost would be.Only now, in 1989, when he is days from retirement and spends more and more time looking over his shoulder, does he realize that his actions in the line of duty may get himand otherskilled. Steinhauer masterfully brings together a story of revenge at any cost with the portrait of a country on the brink of collapse.
