May 13, 2022 release—preorder available now. A fun project that took me out of my comfort zone (not that I really have one). The twelve other authors look to have great stories ready to go.
The secretive Group of Thirty resists the new Czech regime installed after the Prague Spring. Professor Valentýn Hrubý leads this campus group, fighting for the reforms crushed by Russian tanks. Hrubý keeps lists to help his forgetfulness, and the authorities find one of these lists, one that shows the names of his associates. The new government hires an assassin to track and dispose of the group’s members. The efficient killer stalks his prey, dressed in a three-piece suit and topped by a fedora.
It is Friday, twelve days before Christmas, and the wolf has arrived.
