Description
Set against the omnipresent pounding of artillery on the enchanting island of Rab, this gripping tale of politics and psychosis juxtaposes one instance of crime against acts of mass murder occurring elsewhere in the former Yugoslavia. When a transvestite prostitute nicknamed the "Match Girl" is cruelly murdered on the Croatian island, investigators are forced to delve deep into Rab's underbelly to find her murderer. From corpse chaperones, pedophilia, and xenophobia to Romanian secret show more police, exorcisms, and radioactive watches, the detectives are brought face to face with the secrets, illnesses, and deviant behavior of the island's inhabitants. show lessTags
