It has been snowing constantly for over a week, temperatures have dropped to below freezing. Roads are icy, trees covered in glaze. The body of a woman is found in a cold room of an old house on the outskirts of Ljubljana, ‘she looked like a shapeless mass of flesh. Her face was so badly bruised there was nothing left of it.’ It appears the victim was beaten to death. Atbthe same time, a severely beaten and wounded florist is brought to the hospital. It takes state prosecutor Mio Aurelli a while to realise that the murdered woman is his sister Avionka, whom he had not seen for a very long time. He discovers she had been in an abusive relationship and he becomes involved in investigating her husband without telling anyone he is related to the victim. In the interim, things become complicated and more and more bizarre and shocking.
Full of suspense, Black Prince grapples with themes of violence and self-destruction. An arresting book that will not disappoint even the most demanding readers of good crime novels.

Valentina was lying on the floor, sobbing, her face wet with tears, blood on her thigh. ‘If you tell anyone, you’re dead, capisci?‘
