The Public Prosecutor
Pbk published April 2009 by Bitter Lemon Press at £7.99
ISBN: 1904738389
Albert Savelkoul, the Public Prosecutor of Antwerp, has everything: power, money, magnificent horses, a family and a high-maintenance mistress. Despite problems with the mistress and his prostate he's convinced that he is invincible, his power untouchable. However, Albert's wife has set her sights on a title for her son. Opus Dei promises to help her if she transfers all her wealth to the secretive organisation - and they stop at nothing in hounding Albert. A tale of blackmail and murder follows, leavened by Albert's interludes with his loving Polish maid.
Jef Geeraerts was born in 1930 in Antwerp and is Belgium's best known author after Georges Simenon. He was educated in Jesuit schools, spent time as a colonial administrator and army officer in the Belgian Congo. He gained international acclaim with his Gangrene Cycle, four novels based on his experience in the Congo. Since then he has focused on crime and noir novels, of which The Public Prosecutor is the first to be published in English.

See Review by
Ian Morson
Author of Falconer books and short listed for 1999 Ellis Peters Historical Crime Dagger
School teacher Christian Kestner has all but forgotten his stay in Tbilisi, Georgia, seven years ago. When he receives a letter from David Ninochvili announcing his visit to Germany, he begins to worry. Why is David coming? To seek revenge from Christian, who once flirted with his wife? And what are his ties to the different factions vying for the control of Georgia? Christian becomes intensely suspicious of his unwelcome guest and his secretive ways. Fear turns into panic, so corrosive that it can transform even the most rational individual into a monster.
Hans Werner Kettenbach was born near Cologne. He is the author of several highly acclaimed novels. He came to writing late in life, publishing his first book at the age of fifty. Previous jobs he has held include construction worker, court stenographer, football journalist, foreign correspondent in New York and, most recently, newspaper editor. His crime novels have won the Jerry-Cotton Prize and the Deutscher-Krimi Prize, and five of them have been made into successful films, including Black Ice, previously published by Bitter Lemon Press.
