Tribunal

»Metal, glass, blood. All dead. Why am I still alive?«

In order to convict a war criminal and get justice for thousands of victims, Jasna Brandic is putting her life on the line. Her last hope is a man who himself has blood on his hands. She is faced with an impossible decision.

The Hague: Kovac, former commandant of an élite unit of the Serbian army, stands accused of mass murder. Jasna Brandic, star investigator for an international task force, has at last secured a key witness who can definitively prove Kovac’s guilt. On the day of the hearing he is assassinated, and Jasna is left holding the pieces of her case.

Then she learns that a member of Kovac’s inner circle is prepared to speak out against his former comrade – as long as Jasna can protect him from his own people. Jasna takes the next flight to Belgrade. In defiance of her superiors’ orders, she sets out to find this man and bring him before the tribunal. And Kovac’s supporters will stop at nothing to prevent that from happening.
