Book 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,

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 An Expat's Life,
Luxembourg & The White Rose, also published by iUniverse Inc.
