Lily White

Christian Schünemann and Jelena Volić / Translated by Baida Dar

‘Milena makes a beguiling detective.’
The Spectator

Lukin is an wonderful, enigmatic woman who remains shrouded in mystery.’
Die Welt

 

Twenty-five years on, someone is still leaving lilies of the valley in the Belgrade street where a Romani boy was beaten to death by two youths.

One of the attackers was imprisoned. The other fled. After all these years on the run, the fugitive returns to confront his past, but within days his corpse is found floating in the Danube.

The police declare it a suicide and close the case. But Milena Lukin begins an investigation of her own – an investigation that will draw her into the dark heart of Serbia’s past.
