This is the story of the assassination of leading Iranian and Kurdish expatriates in Berlin by agents of the Iranian regime, and the long, slow route to a form of justice. A fascinating look at a morally corrupt regime, and its victims. Depressing for all that, because even though the regime is implicated, nothing really changes. ( )

A well-written history of an important but often overlooked moment in the history of Europe's relationship to the Iranian regime. Showing the fruits of extensive interviews, the book sometimes reads more like a novel than a history as it describes the thoughts and emotional state of some of the key characters. ( )
