THE MISSING GIRL. BONES FOUND IN THE FOREST. AND A YOUNG UNASSUMING DETECTIVE... ***** Harsh years just after the end of World War II. The discovery of human bones in a hard-to-reach forest ravine somewhere in the borderlands indicates a crime whose perpetrator the police have been unable to track down. ***** Unassuming detective Ota Fink – a lathe operator in civilian life – returns by chance to the place where he was a fifteen-year-old apprentice on his first summer job and where he also fell in love with the two years older Lucie. He hasn't seen her since and eventually let her go for other loves. ***** Now he learns that the beautiful Lucie mysteriously disappeared the day after he left for his job. It is said that she has long been dead and the moss-covered bones discovered by a mushroom picker in a pile of needles and decaying leaves were hers. ***** What role did the driver of an unusual pre-war car play in her disappearance, who spoiled a romantic date in the woods for young Ota and Lucie one August night in 1947? Twelve years after the crime – during the hot summer of 1959 – Ota Fink sets out to trace the mysterious car. Will he manage to find out what really happened to Lucie back then?
