Your next favorite book
is waiting.
by Joe Kanon
A murder mystery, a love story, and a superbly crafted novel about the nature of moral responsibility set in post WWII Europe.
"Languid pace ....complex plot...the various entanglements aren't always neatly unraveled." - Publishers Weekly
"Kanon (The Good German, 2001, etc.) is a true talent: eventually, he might write thrillers as impeccable as Graham Greene's." - Kirkus Reviews.
