Seller's Description:
New York. 1989. January 1989. Norton. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0393025128. Translated from the Czech by Kaca Polackova Henley. 268 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Linda Kosarin. keywords: Mystery Translated Czech Literature Eastern Europe. FROM THE PUBLISHER-Readers of THE MOURNFUL DEMEANOUR OF LIEUTENANT BORUVKA will welcome the second book in the Boruvka series, although the lieutenant appears in only two of the ten stories (the first and last). The heroine in this volume is a nightclub singer called Eve Adam, a garrulous meddler in other people's affairs, Under contract from the State Concert Agency, she sings in various cities around the world. As Eve Adam travels and a crime occurs, each story violates one of the rules of the Detective Story Decalogue by Father Ronald A. Knox, probably the best-known set of rules for writing detective fiction. And so the task for the reader is two-fold: to decide which rule has been broken and to identify the murderer-in Prague, in Stockholm, in Rimini, in Berkeley, and in all the other cities. This book, newly translated, has never before appeared in English. Two more Boruvka books, of quite a different nature but equally remarkable, will follow. inventory #11482.
