Summary
Đorđe Bajić: Guy in a Box
In Belgrade, on Zvezdara, in an abandoned house that everyone stopped noticing a long time ago, the corpse of a young man who had been there for a quarter of a century was found. Determined to solve this case, inspector Nikola Liman begins an investigation that takes him deep into the labyrinths of the past. As the city trembles under the weight of political turmoil and collective trauma, Liman realizes that the murder he investigates is not just a relic of years gone by, but a living wound that continues to bleed. The closer we get to the answer to the question of who the unfortunate "guy in the box" is, the clearer it becomes that someone has been diligently trying to keep the secret buried forever. "With this novel, the author not only raises the bar for himself, but also for the entire domestic thriller genre. Through a network of sinister intrigues set in the recognizable present, Inspector Liman reopens numerous Pandora's boxes. In one of them, a task awaits him that will surprise both him and the readers." – Irena Marić, Let's read domestic
