Review of Little Fingers by Filip Florian

I haven't seen Little Fingers getting too much attention, although it sounds like one of the better translations to be published this year. I'm definitely eager to read. The Seminary Co-Op reviews:

In a small, post-Communist Romanian mountain town, schoolchildren discover a mass grave near an archeological dig. It hides, everyone assumes, the work of party chiefs and their firing squads. Military prosecutors “refuse to accept the evidence,” according to a daily newspaper—unlike Major Maxim, the local police chief, who is more than willing to accept the fame associated with such a morbid investigation.

Military prosecutors, archeologists, and townspeople converge on the site of an ancient Roman fort, once interesting in itself but now taking a backseat to the bones being unearthed . . .

The review, by the way, is strongly negative, but my interest remains undiminished.
