What this book is about
Dominic Martell's crime/spy fiction is set in the shadowy post-war European world of jazz clubs, refugees, and displaced idealists. The Republic of Night follows a protagonist navigating a morally complex investigation through a Europe still sorting out the wreckage of history — in the tradition of literary noir that treats politics and character as inseparable.
