I Was Blackmailed into Writing Crime Fiction…

Honestly, I’m not joking! The story started in 2004-2005, when I was trying to put together a Mystery and Thriller anthology in my day job as an editor at Tritonic Books in Romania. I had several translation contracts in place, but it was hard to find any Romanian authors. I’d been an avid reader of crime fiction since childhood.

Bogdan Hrib and 3 other people liked Dragoș's review of Blues Cafe: "Disclosure: autorii îmi sunt prieteni dar reviewul e onest M-am distrat cu Blues Cafe. E un policier ușor atipic, cu doi investigatori și-un câine, o bombă într-un București contemporan și multe Servicii. Cel mai bun lucru din carte e interplay-ul inst" Read more of this review »

Bogdan’s Quotes

“Ce este, de fapt, normal pentru mine? Ce poate fi normal într-o lume în care nimic nu e ceea ce pare? Doar moartea mai pare să fie un lucru adevărat, pentru că viața s-a transformat într-o farsă. Dar nu pot să mor, chiar de-aș vrea, pentru că n-am curajul să fac asta. Nu pot să termin cu ceva ce nu-mi mai aparține și nu mi-a aparținut niciodată. Ce-am trăit până acum... nu era pentru mine. Era pentru cineva uman.”
