Revelations

On the night when the scouts see a hearse in the Slavkov Forest, a prominent German businessman dies there under unclear circumstances. Why was he returning to the old country? Who or what was he looking for? What secrets did he protect, what does the image of the white stag hide, and where does the list of mysterious names lead? The adult grandson Tadeáš follows the trail of the dead head of the family, back in space and time. To home and to a time that has passed, to the small border village of Prameny, where great history has rolled overwhelmingly - from the hell of Nazism through post-war displacement to communist atrocities. The worst deeds of which man is capable, and the greatest courage. The landscape remembers everything. He says. He's grieving. Thaddeus searches for old crimes while new ones seek his life. The mystery novel is based on real events of the twentieth century and historical injustices, not only those of the sources, which took place on both sides of the Czech-German border. It's hard to forget, but it's even harder to remember.
