Dan Fesperman's travels as a writer have taken him to 30 countries and three war zones, including the Persian Gulf War in 1991. His introductory trip to the besieged city of Sarajevo in January 1994 inspired Lie in the Dark. As a journalist he worked at the Miami Herald and The Sun of Baltimore.
a rare wartime thriller
*New York Times*
A quite astonishing first novel...If Fesperman had taken me any
closer to the action I'd be demanding a flak jacket....This is a
humane and moving book, a great war novel, a great crime novel. A
great novel period
*Ian Rankin*
This is the story of the investigation of a murder, but it's also a
wonderful portrayal of a city at war and one of the best books I've
read in a long time
*Sunday Telegraph*
Crime novel, war novel, modern historical novel - it's a winner on
every count
*Barcelona Review*
A story of one man's desperate struggle to hang on to his
integrity, Fesperman's unflinching portrait of the grim realities
of ethnic conflict and the corruption that appears to be all that
is capable of flourishing places this novel firmly in the territory
of Graham Greene and John Le Carre. An impressive debut
*Tangled Web*
