Book Description
======
In this auspicious literary crime debut, an inexperienced homicide detective
struggles amid the lawlessness of a post-WWII Eastern European city.
It's August, 1948, three years after the Russians "liberated" this small
nation from German Occupation. Butt the Red Army still patrols the capital's
rubble-strewn streets, and the ideals of the Revolution are but memories.
Twenty-two-year-old Detective Emil Brod, an eager young man who spent
the war working on a fishing boat in Finland, finally gets his chance
to serve his country, investigating murder for the People's Militia.
The victim in Emil's first case is a state songwriter, but the evidence
seems to point toward a political motive. He would like to investigate
further, but even in his naivete, he realizes that the police academy
never prepared him for this peculiar post-war environment, in which
his colleagues are suspicious or silent, where lawlessness and corruption
are the rules of the city, and in which he's still expected to investigate
a murder. He is truly on his own in this new, dangerous world.
The Bridge of Sighs launches a unique series of crime novels featuring
a dynamic cast of characters in an ever-evolving landscape, the politically
volatile terrain of Eastern Europe in the second half of the 20th century.-
The Bridge of Sighs is a 2004 Edgar Award Nominee for Best First Novel.-
From AudioFile
Emil Brod is a newly minted homicide detective in an unnamed bomb-damaged
Eastern European city just after WWII. The Russians are in charge. Emil
is assigned to solve a case that no one wants to touch. As he reveals
a murder cover-up, he guides us through cold, dark streets; introduces
us to desperate, determined people; and has us feel their ever-present
fear. Ned Schmidtke's deep, authoritative voice suits the story. He
never gets in front of the action. Instead, he supports this atmospheric
tale with well-paced, even reading and a few carefully chosen vocal
mannerisms for the main characters. A moody, involving listen.
