Нобелистът

Eduardo Gertelsman, Nobel laureate for literature, has come to Sofia to meet his Bulgarian readers, and one warm spring evening a luxury car takes him across the city to the university. That night he vanishes from his hotel, and next morning a television station receives a video in which unknown kidnappers demand a ransom. Three days later the body of the writer Asen Voynov, wearing the laureate's clothes, is found near the deserted village of Malinovo. Inspector Vanda Belovska, under heavy political pressure and threatened by her boss, will use any means and gets involved with dubious people driven by sick ambitions. With her private life in ruins, she follows the trail to Zurich, where a powerful literary agency practically breeds Nobel laureates.
