A political thriller set in modern day Bosnia. Typical American style - some violence (no sex though), fast paced.
Worth reading for the insight into current conditions in the Balkans. Palmer also jumps around in history in small sections to give a palpable sense of some the historical grievances that are used by political figures to stir up nationalist sentiment, both as far back as Ottoman rule and up to events in the Sarajevo siege.
