Author Dzena Andersone, with translator Žanete Vēvere Pasqualini, launches her Baltic Noir thriller 'Ice, Flower, Herbarium' with a signing session at Books on the Walls.
Dzena Andersone is coming to Books on the Walls on Wednesday 11 November, from 6:30pm to 8:00pm, to launch her new Baltic Noir thriller, Ice, Flower, Herbarium. It's a signing session, so you can get your copy signed after the talk.
Andersone is a lawyer turned psychological thriller writer from Riga, Latvia. Ice, Flower, Herbarium is published by Fly on the Wall Press as part of their Baltic Noir series, and it was translated from Latvian by Žanete Vēvere Pasqualini. On the night, Andersone will be joined by Vēvere Pasqualini, and they'll be in conversation with Isabelle Kenyon, Managing Director of Fly on the Wall Press.
The book is set in Dansile, a sleepy Latvian backwater town. It follows police chief Vincents, whose discovery of a body in a sack on the roadside sets in motion a chain of events that threaten to overwhelm him and the town. As he works the case, he uncovers the secrets and hypocrisy of the townspeople while grappling with his own failing marriage and a troubling young man named Jens. It's described as dark, gritty Baltic Noir—a haunting story of inherited guilt and the consequences of raising a child without love.
