Meet the author Michael Genelin – book presentation
Kate’s
Mystery Books, 2211 Mass Ave, Cambridge, MA 02140
This is
a first in a new mystery series which features Commander Jana Matinova,
a Slovak policewoman.
“A
terrific novel by a man who
knows crime, knows Europe, and knows how to write. Siren of
the Waters is a genuine pleasure.”—Thomas
Perry, author of Silence
“A truly fine novel. It’s filled with exactitude of place and people, taking us into a world that seethes with dangerous secrets. On that treacherous journey, Michael Genelin makes unfamiliar worlds seems knowable, and does so with great style.”
—Pete
Hamill, author of North River
“There
is plenty of misdirection and suspense here, not to mention details of
how people lived in the Soviet bloc after World War II. In the end, we
must acknowledge that we have been held spellbound by a master storyteller. Highly
recommended.”
—Library Journal Starred Review
“Solving
the international murder-without-borders scheme becomes a puzzle even Agatha
Christie would have been proud of … well
worthwhile.”—Kirkus
Reviews
This July, Soho Crime is
proud to introduce a new mystery series that features Jana Matinova, a
commander in the Slovak police force. SIREN
OF THE WATERS (Soho Crime; July 2008; $24.00) is the first novel
from author Michael Genelin, and, as you can see, he is quickly earning
the respect of his peers.
SIREN OF THE WATERS transitions between the past and present,
revealing how Jana’s marriage and her relationship with her daughter
were destroyed by the Czechoslovak regime. Now, as a commander in the
Slovak police force, she liaises with colleagues across Europe as they
track the mastermind of an international criminal operation involved in,
among other crimes, human trafficking. Her investigation takes her from
Ukraine to Strasbourg, from Vienna to Nice, in a hunt for a ruthless
killer and the beautiful young Russian woman he is determined either to
capture or destroy.
