Writer and blogger Charlie Stella reviews and recommends “Rimaru - Butcher of Bucharest” 

“... a well documented tale of not only the killer [Ion Rimaru], his family, and the victims, it also serves as a condemnation of the aftereffects of years of communist rule [...] Rimaru - Butcher of Bucharest is a fine glimpse into the mind of a notorious serial killer and an intriguing read. It’s great to see an Eastern European publisher of crime make it here. Definitely recommended reading...”

Profusion Books - Highest Quality Noir from Eastern Europe for a lucky 2013!

An extraordinary trio of novels from Romanian authors in English translation, plus an amazing non-fiction book:

Attack in the Library (Atac în bibliotecă) by George Arion, one of the classic narratives of Romanian popular fiction, was written during the dictatorship of the 1980s in the finest Noir tradition.

Kill the General (Ucideți generalul) by Bogdan Hrib, an exciting and suspenseful thriller, takes you on a rollercoaster ride through the last decades in Romanian history.

Anatomical Clues (Indicii anatomice) by Oana Stoica-Mujea features Iolanda, a crime-fighting heroine unique in the landscape of Romanian literature: mad, bad and dangerous to know.

Rimaru - Butcher of Bucharest (Rîmaru – Măcelarul Bucureștiului) by Mike Phillips and Stejarel Olaru is a social review of Romania in the ‘70s, with a serial killer’s story as a central focus.
