The Josef Slonsky Investigations follow a Czech police detective through 10 books set in Prague. Slonsky is an experienced, somewhat unconventional detective navigating the modern Czech police force. The series started with Lying and Dying in 2015, and later entries include Death On Duty, Field of Death, and The Ladies’ Lounge (2025).
Brack uses Prague and the Czech Republic as more than just a setting. The post-communist context shapes the crimes, the police force, and Slonsky’s character. The series blends wry humor with its crime plots, giving the books a distinct voice within the European mystery genre.
