A brilliant reworking of the detective story by the much-acclaimed Michael Chabon author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & KLAY. In THE FINAL SOLUTION Michael Chabon has crafted a short suspenseful tale of compassion & wit that reimagines the classic 19th-century detective story. In deep retirement in the English countryside an 89-year-old man vaguely remembered by locals as a once-famous detective is more concerned with his beekeeping than with other people. Into his life wanders Linus Steinman nine years old & mute who has escaped from Nazi Germany with his sole companion: an African grey parrot. What is the meaning of the mysterious strings of German numbers the bird spews out? A top-secret SS code? The keys to a series of Swiss bank accounts perhaps? Or something more sinister? Is the solution to this last case
- the real explanation of the mysterious boy & his parrot
- beyond even the reach of the once-famed sleuth? Subtle revelations lead the reader to a wrenching resolution. This brilliant homage is the work of a master storyteller at the height of his powers.
