Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. First Printing, First U.S. Edition. This is the second volume of short stories reporting the cases of Czech police detective Boruvka, with each of the ten stories violating one of the rules proposed by Father Ronald Knox during the Golden Age of the British detective story for a story that plays fair with the reader. For instance, Rule 2 prohibits any supernatural agents or solutions, and Rule 3 states no more than one secret room or passage per story. The reader must figure out which rule is being broken as well as who the guilty party is as Boruvka investigates murders in cities across Europe. Translated from the Czech by Kaca Polackova Henley; boards and text are clean and unmarked; tight and square; the dustjacket shows some minimal surface and edgewear, no tears or chipping, no creasing, not price-clipped. Collectable. N° de réf. du vendeur 004298

DESCRIPTION - 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.
