“Book Descriptions: A decade after parting ways, the Foreign Nomad Posse—once an inseparable group of international friends—reunites at the Nobody’s Inn Hotel in Bratislava to ring in the New Year. But as a blizzard seals them inside, celebration turns to horror—Sarah is found dead in a blood-soaked bed, having miscarried a child only a few knew she was carrying.
Then comes a cryptic Christmas card, hinting at a hidden witness and a nameless culprit. When its sender—a retired midwife—is murdered, fear spreads. The police arrest Ricardo, but Sarah’s best friend, Clive, isn’t convinced. Determined to uncover the truth, he joins forces with Samuel Boško, an ex-cop stranded by the storm, and together they unearth long-buried grudges, dark secrets, and dangerous lies.
One thing is certain—someone in the Posse is hiding more than just the past.
With Malaria, his second novel, the ever-so-elusive Suede D. Goldmann honors the tradition of classic whodunits, weaving an intricate mystery where secrets simmer beneath the surface of a close-knit group’s seemingly perfect friendship. Inspired by vintage crime fiction, he crafts a suspenseful puzzle set against the haunting, atmospheric backdrop of a hidden gem in the heart of Europe as well as other enchanting locales around the globe.” DRIVE
