A friend recommended the atmospheric, historical crime thriller Death in Tallinn by Allan Martin. Set in 1933 in Tallinn, Estonia, a policeman is found impaled on the roof of a kiosk, the investigation uncovering a network of illegal activities that threatened the country’s democracy.
Death in Tallinn is the first in a two-book series. The second, Winter Blood, starts with a death in a Gothic manor house.

🇪🇪 On this day 82 years ago, Tallinn burned.
Soviet bombers destroyed thousands of buildings, including the Estonian national Opera and many historic landmarks. Hundreds died and 20,000 people lost their homes.
We remember our history – and why it must always be defended.
