Missing Pieces: a novel of the Balkans
|
Fiction
Missing Pieces, a semi-finalist in the 2019 Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize for Fiction, is a suspense novel set in 1998 Croatia. At its core it is a story of survival, reminiscent of the novels of Eric Ambler where the protagonist, who appears at first to be relatively ordinary, is drawn into a mystery she only barely comprehends. The amateur, thrown into the right circumstances, can react with imagination and courage in equal measure, to beat the professionals at their own game.
