Synopsis

The body of the owner of the largest antique book store in Prague is found next to the Old-New Synagogue. Former dissident and current police officer, Inspector Jan Mazal is on the case. The investigation unfolds against the backdrop of the discovery or forgery of a fourth novel by Kafka and the Prague literary world. Mazal meets the Rabbi of Prague, members of a mysterious Hasidic sect, Czech diplomats and eccentric scholars. He has to deal with a former Communist boss and a suicidal father who survived the Holocaust and the Stalinist show trials. The resolution of the mystery is truly Kafkaesque. "I hope murders in the Prague Jewish Community remain pure fiction, but if we ever have a murder, its plot should be as juicy, sophisticated and intellectually intriguing as the one in Murder in Prague. " Alice Marxova. Chief Editor, Ro Chode (The monthly magazine of the Prague Jewish Community) "As a Prague native, I appreciated the gennuine and lovable characters and setting, as well as the intricate story line. The neighborhoods of Prague, from gentrifying Karlin to upper class Vinohrady are as much part of the story as the idiosyncratic protagonists. " Veronika Tuckerova, Texas Chair of Czech Studies, University of Texas, Austin
