Rosso, an honest cop in wartorn Sarajevo, tries to solve the murder of a police
informant.  Meanwhile, the Serbs are attacking the city, his detectives are
mostly corrupt or stoned, his wife is drinking anything she can get her hands on
& his sort-of-adopted daughter is cavorting with a Croat strongman.

Fullerton was a foreign correspondent & covered the war in Bosnia.  He vividly
portrays the desperation of life in the war zone and the near lawlessness of
Sarajevo adds additional tension to a fairly straightforward mystery.
