Publisher's Synopsis
The Croatian city of Vukovar was the site of some of the worst violence in ex-Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. Nora is a journalist assigned to do a puff piece on the perpetrator of a crime of passion - a Croatian high school teacher who fell in love with one of her students, a Serb, and is now in prison for having murdered her husband. But Nora herself is the daughter of a man who was murdered years earlier under mysterious circumstances. And she wants, if not to avenge her father, at least to bring to justice whoever committed the crime. An exciting literary thriller from one of Europe's most celebrated young authors.
