Description
A MISSING GIRL, SHADOWS OF THE PAST, AND ONE YOUNG INNOCENT DETECTIVE…
It is a hot June in 1953, and outwardly, there is a spirit of construction enthusiasm everywhere. However, the recent past casts a long shadow. Machinist Ota Fink participates in the unveiling of a monument to the victims of World War II in Tmavá Studnice, where his friend Josef Vrba has a cabin. It is on the porch there that Ota stands when an unnamed beauty emerges from the downpour. At that moment, he knows nothing of the unlikely events that will lead to several mysterious deaths.
Ota is initially just curious, but he listens to his intuition and begins his own investigation. In doing so, he realizes that someone is also trying to take his life. He has stumbled upon something he should never have learned.
What secrets does the village hide, where dogs bark at the rocks and retrieve dentures? Why did someone set fire to the cabin, and whose corpse is sitting in the burned car? Who is blackmailing whom, what was in the package hidden in the old cupboard's doors, and what role did the monasteries in Tibet play in all of this?
The new edition of the legendary detective story includes afterwords by Jaroslav Velinský and his son Frederik, as well as the previously unpublished "Fink" short story Improvement.
