The Ghost of Alice Fields

Alice Fields - adopted daughter of the Balkans scholar, Professor Popov - dies from a blow to the head precisely a decade after Slobodan Milosevic said to fellow Serbs at a rally: 'No one will ever hit you again.' Poet and newspaper columnist Jude Oswald chances upon the crime scene reconstruction near his Edinburgh home. When he uses his column to accuse the Professor of Alice's murder, his already troubled life goes into freefall.
