In Edinburgh, an investigation becomes a contest with a killer who hints at what will happen next. Dokonalá kořist contrasts a busy festival city with the uncertainty created by seemingly unrelated murders. Callanach and Turner's second case suits listeners looking for a police thriller in which clues also serve as warnings of another attack.
Dokonalá kořist is the second crime case in Helen Fields's series featuring investigators Luc Callanach and Ava Turnerová. During a music festival in Edinburgh, a charity worker is brutally murdered, and the police soon discover another victim. Initially, the investigators have neither a motive nor a link between the cases—until disturbing graffiti begins to appear around the city, hinting at another attack. The Czech audiobook is narrated by Jan Šťastný. It runs 16 hours and 1 minute and has 71 chapters.

What is Dokonalá kořist about?
Edinburgh is crowded with music festival visitors when a brutal attack takes place in the midst of the crowd. The attacker goes unnoticed, leaving the police without a clear lead. Soon afterward, a preschool teacher is found murdered, and the investigation becomes a search for someone choosing victims according to a disturbing logic of their own. Luc Callanach and Ava Turnerová work to uncover connections between apparently unrelated crimes. Graffiti appearing around the city provides a significant clue, suggesting that the killer is announcing future moves in advance. Helen Fields builds suspense through time pressure, police work, and uncertainty about who may become the next victim. The Czech audiobook is narrated by Jan Šťastný and was translated by Nela Knapová.
