If You Like Dan Fesperman Books, You’ll Love…

Lie in the Dark sees a homicide detective named Vlado Petric in war-torn Sarajevo. He gets a body in the area known as “sniper alley” and finds that the body belongs to Esmir Vitas, chief of the Interior Ministry’s special police. It doesn’t take him long to deduce that he wasn’t actually taken out by a sniper, but actually shot at point blank range. This is a city filled with killers though so finding the culprit won’t be easy. As he investigates, he finds himself drawn into a conspiracy in the fragmented society and underworld of Sarajevo at war.

Another good book by Fesperman is Safe Houses. The book takes place in 1979 West Berlin where Helen Abell is overseeing the CIA’s network of safe houses. Her life gets complicated when she overhears a meeting between two people speaking a coded language that hints at shadowy realities. Then she witnesses another unauthorized encounter that puts her in the cross-hairs of the most dangerous man at the agency. She is not meant to have seen what she saw and it will put her in danger, and have repercussions that spread into the present day.
