International Zone By Milo Dor, Reinhard Federmann, Translation and Afterword by J. Glenn & J. Kelley-Thierman

This detective/mystery novel is set in postwar Vienna, a milieu similar to that of Graham Greene's The Third Man. The plot centers around a number of characters, many of them refugees from Eastern Europe, struggling to survive in difficult times. The black market and political intrigue play a prominent role, as representatives of the Russian and Western occupational forces vie for the allegiance of spies and informants. The relationship between personal motivation and political allegiances is complex.
