2000s: The third in the Lieutenant Josef Slonský series
The Bosnian government has sent an alert out to the criminal division in Prague that some of their ‘most wanted’ men may have escaped into the Czech Republic.
Lieutenant Josef Slonský, along with his dynamic officers, Kristýna Peiperová and Jan Navrátil are sent to comb the backstreets and search for informers.
But just as they appear to find one of the men, an undercover police officer is stabbed outside the flat they are watching, in broad daylight.
It’s quite apt that this series is set in Prague – an old city, full of colour, history and culture. The author also gives the city an impression of a gothic, bygone era at times – and the bygone grumpy cop to roam the streets is Josef Slonský.
This book looks at the many human statues which pose around the city and invite tourists to give money. One of them in the book is an undercover police officer who is disguised as one. An interesting way to go undercover.
This book makes it especially clear how the police and their way of working in the city was changing compared to what had gone on under the Communist Regime.
The books also contain many snippets of Prague’s history and it’s explained how the characters fit into these events, which in turn explains their actions.
