Description
A FIRE IN THE SPIDER VALLEY, FROZEN BLOOD IN THE SNOWDRIFTS, AND ONE YOUNG UNLUCKY DETECTIVE... ***** Unlucky detective Ota Fink – a lathe operator in civilian life – accompanies company vacationers to a mountain lodge after Christmas in 1960 as an apprentice supervisor. Among the participants is Marie Zvoníčková, one of his long-ago femme fatales. And it is she who mysteriously disappears during the journey on overcrowded trains – a fact that only comes to light in the mountains. Concerned, Ota sets out to follow her trail. ***** During a frosty pre-New Year's trek through the snowdrifts, among hikers, pub regulars, and a much more suspicious crowd, Ota gradually realizes that Marie, now a model lathe operator, has been haunted by the troubled past of a girl from a reform school. ***** Who is the tall guy in a padded jacket with a Spanish hat on his head that he spotted at the station? Will the little spider made of wires bring Marie luck, or rather misfortune? And what dark secret does the forgotten cave in the snowy ravine hide?
