I am a big fan of this series and always look forward to a new book. Having recently visited Prague I was interested to see how this new adventure panned out. As always there is a good storyline, which though I wouldn’t describe as cosy, I wouldn’t go as far as describing it as hard-boiled. If you like the characters and have read some of these books, you will settle down and enjoy the story. Suzanne is at home with the dog and a new baby, while Roger heads for Eastern Europe to cross swords with some very shady and tough adversaries. I’m glad my holiday in this lovely city wasn’t as dangerous.
For lovers of this author, when a new book comes out it’s like picking up an old friend, for people that don’t know Jerold Last, give his books a try and you won’t be disappointed.

This mystery is set in Eastern Europe - in Prague and Budapest. Roger and Vicent are followed by the secret police from the moment they arrive from the airport to investigate the death of a man who fell to his death outside a synagogue.
This story of espionage and art theft keeps the reader on their toes.
