Description
In the aftermath of 1968, Prague becomes a city of lingering choices, and middle-aged judge Adam Kindl is pulled into a case that is as morally tangled as it is legally urgent. Tasked with trying a double murder, he must also confront the pressures—political, professional, and intimate—that shape what justice can look like when survival demands compromise. Blending thriller momentum with the slow burn of domestic tragedy, the novel turns on the question of what it costs to remain, to adapt, and to keep believing in one’s own integrity. With Ivan Klima’s sweeping, epic scale and incisive psychological realism, this is a deeply personal inquest into responsibility, silence, and the lives quietly altered by history.
