Hardback. Etat : Fair. Boruvka is working as a parking-lot attendant in downtown Toronto, after a spectacular escape from a Czech prison which provoked an international scandal, when a young woman is murdered, perhaps in a spy coverup. Boruvka lends his years of experience and hard-won pessimism to the neophyte Canadians on the case (including his daughter, who works for a feminist detective agency).By having this story--his most riveting and funniest yet--narrated by the murdered woman's brother, an amiable WASP, Josef Skvorecky sets the Old World against the New, and pokes fun at the absurdities on both sides of our cultural divide. In the end, as an old war crime is avenged, the narrator discovers the source of Lieutenant Boruvka's mournful demeanour. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN039302928XA

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. This book is straight and tight, and very clean. The jacket shows minimal shelf wear and a red dot on lower spine. Translated by Paul Wilson. A pensive conscience-stricken man driven to melancholy by the fiendish truths of murder, the Czechoslovak policeman Lieutenant Boruvka is a notable member of the brilliant-eccentric-detective literary tradition. This book is set in Canada and involves a murdered young woman and perhaps a spy coverup. In the end an old war crime is avenged! Proceeds from the sale of this book benefit environmental restoration and education. N° de réf. du vendeur 005925

Hard Cover. Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. 1st Edition. with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in fine dust jacket, not price clipped, with protective mylar cover. "Boruvka, the melancholy Prague detective, has escaped from a Communist prision in Czechoslovakia to Toronto. There he helps to solve a murder of a beautiful, promiscuous woman, together with her stockbroker brother and his girlfriend, who runs a feminist detective agency. What looks like a simple crime of passion turns into an intricate whodunit, involving Czech spies, Nazi war criminals, hired assassins, would-be aristocrats, and three waves of Czech emigres. This satisfying crime story, the fourth and the best in the Boruvka series, is also a playful, witty, and humorous look at the foibles of the Canadians and the immigrant Czechs and the confrontation of the two cultures." --LJ.
