Velice dlouhé schody – Velinský Jaroslav (2023)

A MURDERER IS RAMPAGING AT THE BORDER OF VRŠOVICE AND NUSLE. CAN OTA FINK FIND HIM BEFORE HE STRIKES AGAIN? ***** The hapless detective Ota Fink – a lathe operator in civilian life – finds himself solving another case at the beginning of summer 1960. Mr. Štechr, a waiter from the restaurant U Kryštofa Haranta from Polžice, has had his wife Marie go missing near their home on the Long Steps. ***** Ota soon discovers that it was here, at the border of Vinohrady, Vršovice, and Nusle, that not only she was last seen, but also the well-known football representative Konvický. ***** Other strange circumstances, including the discovery of a buried human head in a cardboard box, suggest that somewhere around the staircase with a less-than-romantic view of the Michle gas tank and the Vršovice train station, a brutal murderer is on the loose. ***** Will Ota manage to solve the case of the mysterious disappearances and at the same time clear the beautiful Barbora Konvická of suspicion of murder? And what does the brooding giant, the mysterious "phantom" of the Long Steps, know about all this? Could he himself be the murderer?
