Book Description
======
Eastern Europe, 1956: Comrade Inspector Ferenc Kolyeszar, who is a proletariat
writer in addition to his job as a state militia homicide detective,
is a man on the brink. 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. Butt his job is growing
increasingly political, something that makes him profoundly uncomfortable.-
When 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. These 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.-
The Confession is a fantastic follow-up to Olen Steinhauer's brilliant
debut, The Bridge of Sighs, and it guarantees to advance this talented
writer on his way to being one of the premiere thriller writers of a
generation.
From AudioFile
The setting of this dark novel is an unnamed country in Eastern Europe
in 1956. It's a fictional composite of all the enslaved nations of the
period. The primary plot concerns the investigation of a murder. The
subplots derive from the psychological baggage that accrues to people
who live in such surreal environments. When cruelty is commonplace,
the victims become cruel--or the message may be that everyone is a victim.
This book poses some difficulties for a narrator. The characters represent
various countries and social backgrounds. The atmosphere is so Kafkaesque
that joy is unimaginable, and being tortured isn't so different from
normal life. Robertson Dean struggles with all this at times but does
a creditable job at representing the dark mood while keeping the listener
engaged with the plot. R.E.K. ⌐ AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine-- Copyright
