MRTVOLA NA HAUSBÓTU, OČI KRÁSNÉ DÍVKY A BEZDĚČNÝ DETEKTIV NA ÚTĚKU... Je mlhavé zářijové ráno roku 1962 a bezděčný detektiv Ota Fink – v civilu soustružník – se probouzí v kajutě opuštěného hausbótu u břehu Libeňského ostrova přímo vedle mrtvoly brutálně zavražděného muže. Neví, jak se tam dostal, ale jedním si je jist: že bude hlavním podezřelým z chladnokrevného zločinu. A tak se stává psancem. Nemá jinou možnost než vypátrat pachatele na vlastní pěst. Jeho odhodlání posiluje fakt, že mrtvého zná, a to ze společnosti karlínské trampské party Modravých stínů, k níž patří i krásná Dženy, která má na muže takřka nadpřirozený vliv. Navíc záhy dojde k další, neméně brutální vraždě, jejíž obětí se měl stát sám Ota. Proč pachatel zabíjí nohou od stolu? Jakou roli v celé historii hrají Modravé stíny? Je právě křehká Dženy bezprostřední příčinou krutých událostí? A není to všechno jen past na Otu, která měla sklapnout?

Born to a merchant family in Lübeck, Mann was preparing to enter the family business when his father suddenly died and the business was liquidated. The Manns moved to Munich, where Mann began his literary career with the epic novel Buddenbrooks (1901), which was a huge success. Further novels and stories followed, including Death in Venice (1912) and The Magic Mountain (1924); five years following publication of the latter novel, Mann was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature.
