Praise for Death and Breslau: <br><br> This intelligent, atmospheric crime novel, which flashes forward to such events as the 1945 Dresden firebombing and the beginnings of the cold war, possesses a distinctly European, Kafkaesque sensibility. -- Publishers Weekly ( starred review)<br><br> Krajewski's thriller...will intrigue and compel readers to its end. --New York Daily News<br><br> Krajewski has Mankell's sharp eye for detail, but he has, too, a more sophisticated frame of reference that may intrigue fans of Umberto Eco and Boris Akunin ... Death in Breslau is a stylish, intelligent and original addition to the canon. --Financial Times <br><br> It ought to be inappropriate to enjoy reading about Nazis this much. --Boston Globe<br><br> Atmosphere and piquant period detail saturate the pages, and push these books into the upper echelons of literary crime ... Krajewski's lacerating narrative performs the key function of the skilful novelist: providing an entree into a world far from our own. --The Times (UK)
