Sebevrahův průvodce Prahou – Martin Robert C. (2014)

The book is not only a detective story but also a horror tale that does not limit itself to the search for the causes of incomprehensible suicides, the futile search for connections, and the endless solving of the horrific mysteries surrounding these events not only in Prague but also in Washington and Toronto. An invisible thread of something incredible, mystical, runs throughout the story, which neither the rationally thinking private detective James Scott nor the police investigator is willing to accept. Who is the true author of the tourist guide according to which, as the likable, immensely capable detective James suspects, the unexplained suicides occur at historically and architecturally interesting sites in Prague? And what if they are not suicides at all? Who is the beautiful Amélie Bengsová and what abilities does she possess? Can she truly connect to another plane of perception, to worlds where there is neither matter nor time? And what could lead her to horrific callousness, cruelty, and depravity? After reading this thrilling detective horror, every reader will surely ponder the question posed by the authors themselves, whether life is merely a fleeting illusion of reality, whether what we experience is nothing more than a mere dream, a mirage so perfect that it appears to be reality.
