The Ladies' Lounge: A thrilling police procedural with an unexpected twist... (Josef Slonský Investigations Book 8)

Captain Josef Slonský investigates reports of an unpleasant smell in an apartment building and discovers a man who has been dead for some time with a brutal head wound. There are no signs of forced entry, suggesting the victim knew his attacker. The dead man is Dominik Vitek, who previously managed various cabaret clubs in central Prague. Vitek's clubs were successful, and he opened The Ladies' Lounge as a safe meeting place for wealthy and powerful women in Prague. His clubs also hosted dissident meetings during the Communist regime. With years having passed since that era, Slonský must determine whether Vitek's death connects to his past. He considers whether the murder stems from an old grudge, punishment for something in Vitek's history, or something more sinister. The Ladies' Lounge is the eighth book in the Josef Slonský Investigations series, an atmospheric police procedural featuring dark humour.
