Description
Why does a blonde commit
suicide off a bridge in
Luxembourg? Whose telephone
number is on a pink piece of
crumpled paper? Who is the
girl in the porn film?
Jason Evans seeks the
solution whilst on holiday
visiting his brother Shaun
in the Grand Duchy of
Luxembourg. Undercover
Detective Ernie Meyer and
his assistant Gendarme Tammy
Henckels are hot on the
trail.
What is the meaning of an
unusual tattoo? Who is the
old man in a nursing home in
Berlin? Why is a trip to
Frankfurt so important? What
is the secret language on
the letter? Why is a
Luxembourg tour guide
involved?
Luxembourg & The Jenisch
Connection is David
Robinson’s first fictional
novel which visits the seedy
exploitive world of cabaret
bars, the Luxembourg State
secret police and the
tunnels of the former
fortress to uncover a secret
that’s been dormant for
nearly sixty years.
About the author
David
Robinson, who used to work
for Lloyds TSB in
London, is currently living
in
Bratislava,
Slovakia,
having left
Luxembourg
at the end of October 2004. Following his first book, An
Expat’s Life: Luxembourg &
The White Rose,
he is currently writing
another reality book, this
time about
Bratislava.
Between writing Robinson
teaches English.
REVIEW:
This is a
‘whodunit’ or detective
novel that’s quite different
from your traditional Agatha
Christie yarn. Admittedly,
there is a dead body
to begin with—well,
almost to begin with—because
we get a glimpse of an
attractive girl from
Eastern Europe
before she hurls herself
from a
Luxembourg
bridge. David Robinson, however, has touched on a perennial
problem that seems to haunt
Luxembourg—suicide—and
in so doing weaves a tale
that uncovers the plight of
many a girl from Eastern
Europe who is drawn to the
promising glitter of wealth
in the west, with a strand
going back to the Nazi
occupation of Luxembourg.
And who better than David
Robinson to bring together
such strands in the
cosmopolitan setting of
Luxembourg, in view of the
comprehensive knowledge and
experience he has of that
city, as reflected in his
recent guide
