Böszörményi Gyula - A Rudnay-gyilkosságok - Ambrózy báró esetei II.

Autumn 1900. The capital city of Budapest is preparing for the visit of the Persian Shah. The mysterious Eastern ruler tours Europe together with his entire court, evoking extraordinary interest and even admiration everywhere.

However, Chief of Police Béla Rudnay is pressured by something else: there are seven murder case files lying on his desk, which even his best detectives were not able to detect. After a failed attempt to find the missing Miss Emma Hangay, Baron Ambrózy takes on these strange cases, which are completely incomprehensible. Why did the szatóc from Ferencváros kill the painter who came to Budapest from Vienna with the intention of committing suicide - why did the newly employed maid poison the mother of his mistress, whom he had never seen before - why did the chemistry teacher from Hamburg travel to Trieste to shoot a ten-year-old boy he had never seen on the train there - and what reason could the Pest innkeeper have for rushing to the countryside to murder an old maid in the middle of the wilderness? Miss Hangay Mili and her grumpy baron begin an investigation, not knowing that their lives are already in danger.

In the continuation of the highly successful novel Leányrablás Budapesten, the author tries to shed light on ten cases that actually happened, documented by the press of the time, while featuring a series of people and real locations that actually lived in this beautiful, exciting, peaceful era. The investigation is only just beginning!
