BOGDAN HRIB chats to Paul Burke about RESILIENCE, Romanian crime fiction, politics in Eastern Europe, translation Romanian to English and vice versa and coffee culture.

RESILIENCE Stelian Munteanu has had enough of fixing other people’s problems: all he wants to do is make the long-distance relationship with his wife Sofia work.
But when a notorious Romanian businessman asks him to investigate the death of his daughter in the north of England, he reluctantly gets involved once more. This time it turns into a tangled web of shady business dealings and international politics.
Moving rapidly between London, Newcastle, Bucharest and Iasi, Resilience shows just how easy and dangerous it is to fall prey to fake news and social media manipulation.
Translated by Marina Sofia.

Bogdan Hrib has worked as a journalist photographer and publisher of both academic books and fiction. He is the vice-president of the Romanian Crime Writers Club and the director of the International Mystery and Thriller festival in Râsnov, Romania. Two of his previous books in the Stelian Munteanu series have been translated into English.
