A harmadik híd

This novel takes place in a single day in the sunny city of Szeged, among its almost iconic places: the cathedral square, the carefully paved streets of the centre, the shady bank of the Tisza and the old Franciscan church. A former emigrant to Canada, a detective who has come home from Germany and a street musician who stayed behind live and tell their lives. The story begins at a recent class reunion and opens onto heroic deeds and weaknesses, frauds, silences, fading dreams, hidden lives, and the sins and joys of youth. Middle-aged people, old friends, tell or keep quiet about what has happened to them over the past thirty years and what is happening to them now, in private notes on the case of the death of one Péter Foghorn.
