A political journalist for many years, author Patrick
Brigham did not start writing murder mysteries until
the end of the 1990s. Living in Eastern Europe at the
tail end of the Cold War, stories of intrigue and
betrayal abounded, as many of these once hard-core
Communist countries started their painful journey
towards membership of the EU and so-called
democracy.
Many of his stories are set in the Balkans and he offers his readers a first-hand
account of the flexible attitudes that continue to persist, and the corruption and
political demagoguery which manages to sustain these newly re-cast people’s
republics. The absence of law and order, and justice and retribution, are all part of
the ever-changing Balkan landscape, including Greece - the most civilized of the
Balkan countries – and with the advent of Al Qaeda and ISIS, they have added yet
another dimension to this troubled part of the world. http://www.patrickbrigham.co.uk
