The mazurka is a stylized Polish folk dance in triple meter with a lively tempo that has a heavy accent on the third or second beat. Its folk origins are the slow kujawiak and the fast oberek. It is always found to have either a triplet, trill, dotted eighth note pair, or an ordinary eighth note pair before two quarter notes. The dance became popular at ballroom dances in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The Polish national anthem has a mazurka rhythm but is too slow to be considered a mazurka(wikipedia).

This is not a book for the faint-hearted.A strong adult male read. As all of this author's books are. A communist leader is murdered and of course not all is as it seems. Written some while ago, suddenly this book is very much up to date. For any men who enjoy a good thriller, this author is for them.
