Michael Genelin

“A terrific novel” of international crime and intrigue set in post-communist Central Europe (Thomas Perry, Edgar Award–winning author of The Butcher’s Boy).
 
 Jana entered Czechoslovak law enforcement as young woman, and became a wife and mother. But the Communist regime destroyed her husband, and her daughter’s respect for her. The world around her has changed, but she has never stopped being a seeker of justice.
 
 Now, Jana has risen to the rank of commander in the Slovak police force and is based in the capital, Bratislava, a crossroads of central Europe. Cooperating with colleagues across the continent, she is determined to track a master criminal guilty of extortion, murder, kidnapping, and operating a vast human trafficking network.
 
 This investigation takes her from Kiev in Ukraine to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France; from Vienna to Nice during the Carnival, as she searches for a ruthless killer—and the beautiful young Russian woman he is determined to either capture or destroy.

Soho Crime

A Commander Jana Matinova Investigation

Siren of the Waters

A police commander suspects an international criminal conspiracy: “The portrayal of life in post-Communist Slovakia is riveting” (USA Today).
 
 Prudent Jana and impetuous Sofia were best friends as schoolmates, including the day when Sofia was assaulted by someone high up in the Communist Party. There was little they could do at the time—but Jana managed to identify him and vowed to one day bring him to justice.
 
 Now she’s a commander in the Slovak police force when she discovers an enormous diamond, dangling from a string fixed to the ceiling of her home. Was it put there as a gift? Or, more likely, to entrap her? Where did this magnificent jewel come from? The investigation will lead Jana across Europe and into a web of murders which have entangled her childhood friend—and will bring back memories of the traumatic past.

Dark Dreams

This “superb” international mystery features a Slovakian police commander shattered by loss, and set on justice (Publishers Weekly, starred review).
 
 Devastated by her lover’s death in an explosion—on the same day a student was shot and killed in sleepy Bratislava after sneaking into a hotel to steal food—Jana is transferred to The Hague, headquarters of the international police force Europol.
 
 On the flight, she encounters the dead student’s uncle—a retired magician who is determined to help Jana investigate his nephew’s death. And his help is indeed needed, as Jana faces an international criminal conspiracy that may emanate from Europol itself . . .

The Magician's Accomplice

This novel of murder, corruption, and police work takes place in modern-day Slovakia by an author who “seems incapable of writing a dull page” (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette).
 
 When the wife of one of Slovakia’s most prominent businessmen is killed in a very public assassination, it looks like the bullets were meant for her husband. But could she have been the primary target?
 
 Cdr. Jana Matinova must push through her own government’s secretiveness and intransigence to discover what connects the murder of Klara Boganova to an anonymous man run down in Paris, a dead Turk with an ice pick in his eye, and an international network of bank accounts linking back to the Second World War, in this crime thriller that is “rich in compelling plot twists” (The Washington Post).
