Gypsy in Amber by Martin Cruz Smith

4.0

My last read this year was terrific. Martin Cruz Smith is a marvelous writer and I'm so glad I discovered 2 of his earliest books, Gypsy in Amber being the first of 2 thrillers with Roman Grey, a member of the Romas and a very smart hero. He's an antiquarian who really knows his stuff. When a good friend and fellow Gypsy is killed in a car crash, Roman is asked to help the police figure out why a dismembered body of a woman is found in his friend's truck. A lot of description of Gypsy lifestyle, mores and manners. Very interesting. Recommend.
