Estranged from his wife, whom he believes is cheating on him with one of his colleagues, and frustrated by writer's block, Ferenc's attention is focused on his job. But his job is growing increasingly political, something that makes him profoundly uncomfortable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhen Ferenc is asked to look into the disappearance of a party member's wife and learns some unsavory facts about their lives, the absurdity of his position as an employee of the state is suddenly exposed. At the same time, he and his fellow militia officers are pressed into service policing a popular demonstration in the capital, one that Ferenc might rather be participating in. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThese two situations, coupled with an investigation into the murder of a painter that leads them to a man recently released from the camps, brings Ferenc closer to danger than ever before--from himself, from his superiors, from the capital's shadowy criminal element.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOLEN STEINHAUER, the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of ten previous novels including \u003ci\u003eThe Tourist\u003c\/i\u003e, is a Dashiell Hammett Award winner, a two-time Edgar award finalist, and has also been shortlisted for the Anthony, the Macavity, the Ellis Peters Historical Dagger, the Ian Fleming Steel Dagger, and the Barry awards.
