Description
When Gypsy cop Balthazar Kovacs is called out at dawn to his brother Gaspar's brothel, he know it can only be bad news. A customer has died in the VIP room. Worse still, he's an Arab diplomat, connected to a massive investment programme from the Gulf states that can transform Hungary. The signs point to a heart attack – but is that really the case?In Kossuth Square, Kovacs soon discovers that the dark forces of corruption he thought were defeated are fighting back, more powerfully than ever. And when he uncovers a dark secret that his family has kept for twenty years, his mission becomes personal.
Soon, Kovacs is drawn back into the Budapest underworld of people smuggling, blackmail and soaring political tensions – always caught between the twoworlds of the Gypsy and non-Gypsy, of the law and family loyalty.
