Slow Winter

Haunted by his late father`s thirst for adventure, Alex Hickman persuaded his local newspaper that it needed a Balkan correspondent. Talking his way into besieged Sarajevo, he watched as the city`s fragile ceasefire fell apart. A series of chance encounters took him to Albania and a bizarre appointment with the government. Thrown into an alliance with the country`s colorful dissident leader, he found himself occupying a ringside seat as corruption and scandal spilled the country into chaos. This is a moving story of one man`s search for his father`s legacy among the mountains and ruin of Europe`s oldest, and most mysterious corner.
