Liberation Movements Library Edition

Praise for Olen Steinhauer "Steinhauer again displays his masterful manipulation of character, plot, and reader expectations. . . . A fast, intriguing read. Highly recommended." ---Library Journal(starred review) on Liberation Movements   "Steinhauer's people are real, the crimes genuine, and he is telling larger truths about that era, making it unusually accessible." ---David Halberstam, Los Angeles Times,on 36 Yalta Boulevard   "Brano Sev is Steinhauer's most intriguing hero yet, and that's saying something. . . . With its shifting perceptions, pervasive paranoia, and truly unpredictable plot, this will be savored by readers of well-crafted espionage ranging from Alan Furst to John le Carré." ---Booklist(starred review) on 36 Yalta Boulevard   "A wonderfully taut tale that is part police procedural, part political thriller, part love story. . . . Steinhauer has created a vivid world in a lost time." ---The Washington Post Book Worldon The Confession   "A mesmerizing and richly atmospheric follow-up to his 2003 debut." ---Entertainment Weeklyon The Confession   " The Confessionis a clever reworking of the police procedural: The narrative-within-a-narrative exposes multiple levels of complicity and guilt that make this an affecting, sobering entry in one of the most inventive series around." --- Los Angeles Timeson The Confession   "Think of the savage brilliance of J. Robert Janes's mysteries about World War II France; of the suspenseful erudition of Alan Furst's thrillers. Steinhauer's debut is right up there on those stellar heights, casting new light on relatively recent history we thought we already knew everything about." --- Chicago Tribuneon The Bridge of Sighs   "Time, place, and cast are all richly evoked in a well-written, often gripping debut." ---Kirkus Reviews(starred review) on The Bridge of Sighs   "With its convincingly treacherous cast of turncoats, opportunists, party hacks, and rogue Russians, The Bridge of Sighsis a richly atmospheric tale of one man's quixotic struggle to decipher the bleak enigma of postwar Eastern Europe." ---Dan Fesperman, author of The Warlord's Son,on The Bridge of SighsSteinhauer, Olen is the author of 'Liberation Movements Library Edition', published 2006 under ISBN 9780312332044 and ISBN 0312332041.
