In the last years of the Cold War, the Club at Eddy's Bar is a magnet for the elite of a city in the Carpathian Mountains. They keep one another's secrets, even the truth about a brutal murder. When a young journalist learns too much, he has to flee the country. Forced to leave behind his wife and children, he is admitted to Canada as a refugee. He brings with him the notebook in which he has kept his account of the crime, hoping to publish it when his family is safely with him. But as he struggles to start a new life in Canada, he finds as many secrets and lies are being concealed by those with power and money in the new country as in the old. "The Club at Eddy's Bar" is both a gripping murder mystery and an intricate and involving tale of power, hypocrisy, love, and betrayal.
The author, Zoltan BOSZORMENYI, was born in 1951 in the Hungarian community of Arad in Transylvania, and studied for seven years at the Ballet School in Cluj. He began his writing career in the Iron Curtain days of Eastern Europe, publishing in Transylvania two books of Hungarian-language poetry, the second of which (considered politically unacceptable) resulted in his arrest and interrogation by Romanian security officers. He fled to the West, through Yugoslavia, spent seven months at Traiskirchen Refugee Camp in Austria, then was admitted to Canada, where he learned English and graduated from York University in Toronto. After returning to Eastern Europe in the 1990s, he became a successful industrialist, setting up Romania's most modern lighting company. He retired from industry to return to writing, and is editor-in-chief of a Hungarian-language daily and monthly journal based in Arad and Budapest. He is married, and has two daughters.
