Also reviewed: Clete by James Lee Burke; Anna Pitoniak’s The Helsinki Affair; Eli Cranor’s Broiler; and Havoc by Deborah J Ledford. This time out, Flynn’s defending a man charged with murdering a neighbour on his street, filled with wealthy families and those who serve diligently in the background so the privileged lives can run like clockwork. Among those indispensable servants is Ruby, who, “lurking in the dark corners of every home on the street”, has witnessed the murder.
Across its suspenseful narrative, The Helsinki Affair suggests how much has remained the same in global politics even while empires seem to have fallen; as one character warns Amanda, the cold war dragged on partly because “certain people were enjoying themselves too much to stop. Notpeople ... But a few powerful people, on their side and on ours: They loved the game. They loved having an enemy, having a crusade.”.
Cranor depicts these characters with a quiet, deep empathy, rich enough never to deny them their complexity. This is particularly true of Mimi and Gabby, who are this impressive novel’s real centre, from its gripping start to its moving end., the second book in her series featuring Pueblo tribal police officer Eva “Lightning Dance” Duran, opens with a bank robbery in Taos, New Mexico. The culprit, a Chicago-based con man, shoots a city cop and escapes capture.
