Paganiniho smlouva

Two crime scenes pose questions that ordinary explanations cannot answer. A dead woman showing signs of drowning is found on a boat, while a man is found hanged in an apartment under doubtful circumstances. Lars Kepler's Paganiniho smlouva brings detective Joona Linna to both events. The second volume of Případy komisaře Joony Linny builds on the conflict between what the discoveries suggest and how the deaths could have occurred. This Czech-language e-book from Host is for readers of Nordic crime fiction combining investigative puzzles with thriller tension.

Paganiniho smlouva opens its investigation with two scenes that resist simple explanation. A woman is found aboard a boat with salt water in her lungs, although other clues do not fit the expected circumstances of drowning. The second starting point is a man found hanged in an apartment's sitting room, with nothing nearby that he could have stood on. Both events demand closer investigation than simply identifying an apparent cause of death.

Joona Linna, the central detective of Kepler's series, takes the case. The opening tension comes from the gap between physical evidence and an imagined sequence of events. Readers must follow which details support an explanation and which undermine it.

The sea in June and an enclosed apartment provide different settings for the two mysteries. The plot will particularly appeal to readers drawn to inconsistencies at crime scenes and a detective willing to question first impressions. This is a Nordic crime thriller, with the discovery of dead bodies forming its dark premise.

The novel is the second volume of Případy komisaře Joony Linny, following Hypnotizér. Alexandra Coelho Ahndoril and Alexander Ahndoril write together as Lars Kepler. Azita Haidarová prepared this Czech translation. The electronic edition has 509 pages and is available in EPUB and PDF.
