Ripped from today’s headlines, as the saying goes. You may find it filed under SF, for reasons that elude me: it’s an alternate history set in 1949, with nothing more modern than the telephone. Anyway, it’s a murder mystery/political thriller, all wrapped in the aforementioned alternate history and peopled with well-realized characters, good and bad, all flawed in some way, but some quite sympathetic. Worth staying up til 1AM to finish.
