Lethargy

A FORMER POLICE OFFICER AND A FORMER CRIMINAL FACE OFF. YOU CAN'T RUN FROM YOUR PAST… In the heart of a spa town, a bloody game is being played. A serial killer is targeting the most bizarre of victims. At first, the police investigate the crimes as standard murders, but it soon becomes clear to everyone that something much greater than a simple desire for revenge lies behind their deaths. It is obvious that the perpetrator is choosing their victims according to a specific pattern. Former investigator Alexandr Kraus, who knows the nooks and crannies of the Karlovy Vary underworld like the back of his hand, is called in to take on the case. But he has more than enough problems of his own and has instead embarked on a career writing crime articles, believing he would lead a quiet life. Little did he know what a return to the murky waters of the local underworld awaited him… Enjoy the author's abridged version of a crime story from Karlovy Vary by the contemporary Czech detective novelist Antonín Mazáč.
