Victory Square: A Novel: 5 (Yalta Boulevard Quintet 5)

From the author of New York Times bestseller The Tourist.... The revolutionary politics and chaotic history at the heart of Olen Steinhauers literary crime series set in Eastern Europe have made it one of todays most acclaimed garnering two Edgar Award nominations among numerous other awards. Upon reaching the tumultuous 1980s the series 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 Emil 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 what he did in the line of duty may get him―and others―killed.. By fusing a story of revenge at any cost with a portrait of a country on the brink of collapse Steinhauer masterfully brings the personal and political together with devastating results and once again raises crime fiction to a stunning new level.
