Description
In 1936, the seaside village of Split on the Adriatic coast is bustling with tourists and Jewish émigrés seeking refuge from persecution. But as war in Europe looms, the village becomes a hub for spies, fascists, and smugglers. A murder investigation unfolds when a corpse is found entangled in fishing nets in the port. With tensions boiling over and numerous suspects, crime superintendent must navigate a complex web of motives and allegiances. As the investigation unfolds, local lovers become embroiled, while a propagandist filmmaker finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time. The village's fragile peace is threatened by political rivalries and the looming specter of war. In this gripping historical novel, the author masterfully weaves together threads of romance, murder, and espionage. Set against the backdrop of pre-war Europe, Split A Novel is a tense and suspenseful tale that explores the complexities of human relationships in the face of uncertainty and danger.
