In 1989, beautiful Silva doesn't come home. Young cop Gorki Sain discovers that she isn't what she seemed--she dabbled in drugs and dealt in heroin. But Gorki soon finds himself out of a job as Yugoslavia plunges into a fratricidal war. Silva's brother stubbornly continues the search amid the upheavals of Croatian society, from the fall of communism through the 1991-1995 war. The former cop returns to solve the 30-year-old mystery in a different role, one less than ethically tied to toxic land speculation and corruption that comes with the tourist boom on the Dalmatian Coast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"This finely engineered, haunting novel has been deservedly garlanded with awards\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e.\" ---\u003ci\u003eFinancial Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"A brilliant cocktail of mystery and recent history, compellingly told.\"--\u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"The best crime fiction of 2025 so far: In\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003ethis outstanding\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003enovel\u003c\/b\u003e, Jurica Pavicic uses the unsolved disappearance of a teenage girl, Silva, to document the impact of the Yugoslav civil war.\" --\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTimes\/Sunday Times\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor Jurica Pavičic \u003c\/b\u003eis a Croatian writer, scriptwriter, and journalist.
