On October 2, 1996, Andrey Lukanov was shot in front of his home - a prominent politician of the Bulgarian transition to democracy, prime minister in two governments, deputy. By whom and why? To this day, none of the versions have been denied or confirmed. The "Lukanov" case has been closed.
In her new book, Anna Zarkova sheds light on the truth by providing the reader with the extensive information she collected on this mysterious case: the interviews recorded in her own and other journalists' interviews; what was heard in the courtrooms, what was shared "four eyes" with party figures and magistrates, with police officers and ex-prisoners, with impoverished nouveau riche and heads of bankrupt banks. Going through the denouements of criminal and political intrigues, with journalistic dedication, she searches for the key to the great mystery: who benefits from the death of this controversial politician - much loved and hated, respectfully called the Architect of the Peaceful Transition and contemptuously the White Fox. An intriguing documentary narrative, convincingly proving that "many of the questions we ask ourselves today have answers in our recent past".
Anna Zarkova is a long-time investigative journalist, editor and commentor in "Trud" newspaper, columnist in "Galeria" newspaper, general secretary and member of the Board of Directors of the Union of Bulgarian Journalists (2020-2024). She is the author of the trilogy "The Great Murders" and the books "Burning", "From Vaptsarov to Zhivkov and the rest", "The Bulgarian mafia as I saw it", "The chief prosecutors" and "Free speech".
Zarkova is the winner of the "Eagle" - the Great Courage Award of the International Union of Journalists (Washington), and the "Golden Feather" (Sofia).
