36 Yalta Boulevard
Olen Steinhauer
Olen Steinhauer's first two novels, The Bridge of Sighs and The Confession,
launched an acclaimed literary crime series set in post--World War II
Eastern Europe. Now he takes his dynamic cast of characters into the
shadowy political climate of the 1960s.
State Security Officer Brano
Sev's job is to do what his superiors ask, no matter what. Even if that
means leaving his post to work the assembly line in a factory, fitting
electrical wires into gauges. So when he gets a directive from his old
bosses---the intimidating men above him at the Ministry of State
Security, collectively known for the address of their headquarters on
Yalta Boulevard, a windowless building consisting of blind offices and
dark cells---he follows orders.
This time he is to resume his job in
State Security and travel to the village of his birth in order to
interrogate a potential defector. But when a villager turns up dead
shortly after he arrives, Brano is framed for the murder. Again trusting
his superiors, he assumes this is part of their plan and allows it to
run its course, a decision that leads him into exile in Vienna, where he
finally begins to ask questions.
The answers in 36 Yalta Boulevard,
Olen Steinhauer's tour-de-force political thriller, teach Comrade Brano
Sev that loyalty to the cause might be the biggest crime of all.
