Zagabrijel

With Zagabrije, the first part of this unusual trilogy, Boris Perić attracted the readership by creating a skilfully told criminal story, in which an old Zagreb secret society with nefarious intentions, a passer-by, a linguist and professor Vollmeyer who is in Zagreb for a professional conference, become involved, inspector Orešković, a policeman who cannot wait for his hard-earned pension, an employee of Zagreb's Čistoca, a certain Stjepan Mrak aka Kmica, and Lukrecija Panj, a young journalist of an unnamed large media company who is the first to notice that something really strange is happening in Zagreb. Our heroes found themselves in a truly ungrateful position after they were imprisoned in the basement of the national library by a cannibal-gourmand, with their fate and that of the entire city uncertain, which slowly fell under the influence of the dark Zagabriel, the fallen angel and protector of bribery and corruption. The third part of Perić's trilogy brings us the escape of the marten from the coat of arms to Ireland, inspector Orešković finally finds the answer to the Sphinx's riddle that haunts him in his dreams, and alongside our inspector who is impatiently awaiting retirement, the brave Štef Kmica and prof. Vollmeyer are dealing with an influential apparatus, a mysterious device that has put the Croatian metropolis under the rule of the sinister Zagreb.
