Uranova - 2 CDmp3 (Čte Petr Čtvrtníček)

Welcome to Jáchymov, the city of spa pleasures and uranium mines! After a girl from England traveled to Czechoslovakia in August 1968 to visit the family of her never-known father in Jáchymov, she vanished without a trace. However, Angela's life did not end then, and fate has it that after many years she will reunite with her former fiancé Henry, who, for therapeutic reasons, has followed her trail accompanied by his lifelong partner Suzanne. The Sklodowska Hotel, where the British couple is staying, is full of suspicious characters, starting with the old servant Schmidt, whose skin resembles rotting wood and whose gaze is that of a killer, and ending with a group of foreign scientists who have earned the nickname 'radioactive weirdos' from the staff due to their behavior. However, the greatest mystery seems to be the hotel owner herself, Dr. Estela Hans, who raises more and more questions in Henry. That is until the arrival of a mysterious stranger, who shares a mysterious bond with the startled hostess and shows an almost suspicious interest in the Jáchymov underground... This successful debut novel, oscillating between thriller, sci-fi, and romance, won the Litera for Debut of the Year.
