Lie in the Dark

"New, crisp and unread first printing in cream boards, black spine with silver titles, fine dust jacket is. Fesperman won The John Creasey Award for best first crime novel for this brilliant mystery set in Sarajevo during this last anarchic and deadly civil war."

From Publisher:

Investigator Petric makes his living from the dead. Lately business has been slow. 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 call for inquiry. It is no abused lover or distant sniper's victim, but a government official shot dead at close range -- the chief of the Interior Ministry's special police.

In a thriller that recalls the first excitement of Martin Cruz Smith's Moscow, 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 for their very lives -- and weaves through this tom cityscape one man's desperate, deadly pursuit of the wrong people in the wrongest place.
