Victory Square

"Victory Square" is another white-knuckle novel of revolutionary politics set against the backdrop of the crumbling forty-year-old Eastern European government, in author Olen Steinhauer's acclaimed literary crime series. Now in the chaotic 1980s, the series comes full circle as one of the earliest cases of the People's Militia reemerges to torment all of the inspectors. Emil Brod, now the chief, arrested a revolutionary leader in the late 1940s, and now he spends a lot of time looking over his shoulder, no longer too naive to realize that this powerful man will seek his revenge. Pulse-pounding and unique, this is another top-notch thriller from Steinhauer.
