Review title: A mystery, police procedural, a buddy book and a love story, all in one,
Product review: Series off to a dramatic start.Inspector Emil Brod, new at his job, 22, is revealed to the reader and himself as a bulldog of a cop.He stumbles into or through obstacles, hardly knowing what the mystery is that he is solving.The author lays on atmosphere as thick as a mad painter squanders oils.The eastern European city, never named, is the strongest, most finely drawn, of the characters.A mystery, police procedural, a buddy book and a love story, all in one.Steinhauer's depressing and uplifting The Bridge of Sighs is one to remember.
