The Mournful Demeanour of Lieutenant Boruvka by Josef Skvorecky
A pensive, conscience-stricken man driven to melancholy by the fiendish truths of murder, the Czechoslovak policeman Lieutenant Boruvka is a notable new member of the brilliant-eccentric-detective literary tradition. Twelve bizarre tales—to be read as a continuous account—involve theatrical people, musicians, and mountaineers, who lead the lieutenant, and the reader, on an ingenious chase through the paths of crime.
George (Jiri ) Theiner (b. 1926 - d. 1988) was a Czechoslovak journalist, editor, and translator.
