About this ebook
A police commander suspects an international criminal conspiracy: “The portrayal of life in post-Communist Slovakia is riveting” (USA Today).
Prudent Jana and impetuous Sofia were best friends as schoolmates, including the day when Sofia was assaulted by someone high up in the Communist Party. There was little they could do at the time—but Jana managed to identify him and vowed to one day bring him to justice.
Now she’s a commander in the Slovak police force when she discovers an enormous diamond, dangling from a string fixed to the ceiling of her home. Was it put there as a gift? Or, more likely, to entrap her? Where did this magnificent jewel come from? The investigation will lead Jana across Europe and into a web of murders which have entangled her childhood friend—and will bring back memories of the traumatic past.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5My interest in reading 'Dark Dreams' the 2nd in the Jana Matinova was low to say the least but when I saw the books on the top of my list were unavailable from the library I decided to go with it. I'm glad I did. I really felt more connected to Jana's character and enjoyed the relationship she had with her superior Trokan more so then I did in 'Siren of the Waters' the first in the Matinova which was one of the few positives I found in the 1st book.
The setting in mostly Eastern European countries and the dialogue amongst the various characters was a positive.
I have to confess with 'Dark Dreams' my interest n reading the 3rd book 'The Magician's Accomplish' will be much higher
