Chasing murderers in the middle of a civil war might seem absurd, but that is Investigator Petric's job as one of the few homicide detectives left in Sarajevo. When the chief of the special police force is killed, Petric is assigned to the case, so the Government can convince the UN it is above reproach. His investigation reveals a dark scheme that reaches the very top of government, and places him in grave danger. Set against a background of snipers, ethnic cleansing and anarchy, Lie in the Dark weaves through the alienation and terror of one man's deadly pursuit.
