About This Book

The narrative follows Josip Pekic, whose father was executed as a political dissident and later rehabilitated, as he is abruptly arrested and escorted to the imposing Ministry of Internal Affairs. Moving through marble halls and encountering impassive officers, the account reveals the residue of a police state beneath official claims of reform, and how public honors can coexist with private fear. Through procedural detail and the behaviour of functionaries and citizens, the story examines institutional power, personal memory, and the blunt, often arbitrary workings of a security apparatus.
