The Fall

Beschreibung

Set in Croatia in June 2013, the prequel to The Uneasy Silence follows Emir Eddy Muravic, a young Detective Sergeant with the Australian Federal Police (AFP), as he takes long service leave to visit his family in the former Yugoslav state. Eddy s holiday is abruptly cut short when Avigail Iversen, an Australian backpacker, is found dead in Krka National Park, Dalmatia. As the daughter of Australia s Attorney General, her death becomes a political flashpoint, forcing Eddy to navigate a delicate investigation in a country grappling with its fascist past, the scars of its recent homeland war, and its inauguration as a member state of the European Union. Complicating matters further, Eddy is joined by Interpol Liaison Officer Sasha Jankovic, who, by coincidence, is of Serbian descent. Together, they must overcome cultural and linguistic challenges, as well as centuries-old ethnic rivalries, to unravel the mystery behind Avigail s death. As they delve deeper, they encounter shadowy figures and confront the dark legacy of an ex-communist state. Can Eddy and Sasha set aside the weight of history to uncover the truth about the young Australian backpacker s tragic end?

Autor

Son of Croatian immigrants, who immigrated to Australia in 1962, Mate Antolos was born in 1971 in Melbourne, Australia. Mate (pronounced Mateh ) later throughout his life was known to his Australian peers as Michael or Mike. Educated in the Catholic School system, he later graduated in 1988 and went to Deakin University (Burwood) and completed a Bachelor of Business in Management, sub-majoring in English in 1993. After his tertiary education was complete, Mate found himself working in Bendigo in the textile industry in a family business, and a few later years was encouraged to go to the University of Huddersfield where he completed a Bachelor of Engineering in Textile Studies in 1997. Once he completed his studies, he undertook work experience in England and Northern Ireland and then returned to Australia to join the family business. Later when the business was sold in 2002, he tried his hand at Textile recycling and a small transport business. When his father passed, he became his mother s sole carer, and that is where writing found him, and he self-published his first set of short stories on Amazon Kindle KDP under the pseudonym Mate Solotna. After the passing of his mother in 2023, he began a novel, The Uneasy Silence, to help him mourn the loss of his mum, and in turn to document the changing face of the Mornington Peninsula. Currently, he is writing his third novel, the third book in the Muravic series, called The Child Soldiers of Melbourne.
