A man from Brno
Who could investigate this murder better than him? Honestly? Anyone!
Every Prague needs its Brno, a place where things happen… the kind of things that can only happen in Brno.
Prague police officer Josef Ječmínek finds this out for himself when he is unwillingly transferred to the police station in Brno-Komárov. There he meets the eternally hungry Major Vítámvás, who looks up to the legacy of T. G. Masaryk; former football star Sergeant Píč with his worn-out joints; Lobo, suffering from mild brain dysfunction caused by a debaucherous life in the wild nineties; Brenda Kakáčová with a rather unreadable expression on her face; and Pája from Cejl, a.k.a. Palermo Rolex Lakatoš.
Can a Praguer investigating the strange murder of a homeless woman in 'Prýgl' establish justice? This city demands a lot of courage. And above all, patience. Petra Klabouchová will guide you through places where enthusiasm clashes with misunderstanding, innocent theory with cruel practice, and reality… with Brno.
Petra Klabouchová
Petra Klabouchová comes from the South Bohemian town of Husinec, which has always been favourable to revolutionary ideas. After studying journalism and psychology at Masaryk University in Brno, she began to devote herself to writing. She developed her literary talent as a manager of rock bands while travelling through Europe and the USA. She captured these wild and loud years in her book 'Na plný koule'. Her literary repertoire also includes the entertaining and child-friendly 'Upíří storky' (Vampire Yarns), a look into the eighties in 'Poslední kubánské pomeranče' (The Last Cuban Oranges), an excursion into the legacy of ancient Egypt in 'Podvod zlatého faraona' (The Golden Pharaoh's Fraud), and the psychological crime thriller 'Anglická zahrada' (The English Garden). She gained most significant attention for her detective novel 'Prameny Vltavy' (The Springs of the Vltava) about evil emerging from the depths of the writer's native region. She also tells a story of a crime shrouded in decades of silence in her book 'U severní zdi' (At the North Wall).
