A spellbinding mystery set in the conspiratorial time of the Cold War. There is a line over which State Security Officer Brano Sev will not step, even when stepping over it is in the state's best interests. When the authorities frame him for a murder, his search for the truth puts him in peril. Third in the series. "Rasovsky subtly shifts from one Eastern European accent to another, helping listeners keep track of the many characters in this dark-edged tale."—Booklist
