Learn moreIn 1975, a People’s Militia homicide investigator is on a plane for Istanbul when it is hijacked by Armenian terrorists. Before the Turkish authorities can fulfill the hijackers’ demands, the plane explodes in midair.
Two investigators, a secret policeman and a homicide detective, are assigned to the case. Both believe that their superiors are keeping them in the dark, but they can’t figure out why … until they begin to realize that everything is connected to a seven-year-old murder, a seemingly insignificant killing that has had far-reaching consequences.

Reviews
“It is an exhilarating and enjoyable ride.”
“Steinhauer’s first three books caught the frustration and bleakness of their Eastern European setting to heartbreaking perfection. He underscores those qualities this time with contrasting scenes of a Turkish capital bursting with life and some semblance of hope. And the irony which has colored the series to such strong effect is even more evident in Liberation Movements.”
“Steinhauer’s elegant spy novel Liberation Movements is imbued with a retro kind of cool…It is a tight, neatly structured story, built around the lives of very Cold War characters, individuals effaced by the secrecy of their professions and the cynicism of their nation. But Liberation Movements is not so cold or so neat, for all that. At its heart is a messy, human revenge plot…captivating.”
“Dazzling…a skilled writer working at the top of his form.”
“Five actors divide narrative duties in this beautifully produced story…all do wonderful evocative work portraying the investigators of the explosion, their superiors, who seem to know more than they’re telling, and assorted loves and spouses of the main players in this fascinating Cold War noir…Absorbing performances of an intriguing and memorable thriller.”
“Steinhauer’s use of alternating time periods and tenses and events happening out of sequence demand the listener’s full attention and make this work, read by Bo Foxworth and others, a complicated, taut, and suspenseful listening experience.”
“[A] cool and cerebral crime thriller, full of political nuance.”
“Steinhauer again displays his masterful manipulation of character, plot, and reader expectations…A fast, intriguing read.”
