SYNOPSIS
An eerie and offbeat mystery by a Kafka Prize-winning author.
The case confronting Lieutenant Gregory is not one that a man of Scotland Yard would expect. In fact, it is not one any sane man would care to entertain. Bodies are disappearing. The initial assumption is that a grave robber is roaming London and defiling local morgues. But upon further examination, it seems the deceased are, in fact, resurrecting.
As Gregory stumbles his way through the tangled clues, seeking advice from scientific, philosophical, and theological experts alike, he finds himself tossed into a baffling metaphysical puzzle of incomprehensible truths and unbelievable realities.
Hailed by Kirkus Reviews as "closer to Kafka than the police precinct house," Lem’s intelligent and puzzling foray into the mystery genre offers an appealing combination of disturbance and delight.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Stanislaw Lem
Stanislaw Lem (1921-2006) é um dos mais traduzidos e destacados autores polacos. Nos anos 40, estudou medicina e psicologia em Lviv e em Cracóvia. Foi forçado a obter documentos falsos – que o salvaram das câmaras de gás de Belzec – e, como mecânico, dedicou-se a sabotar carros alemães durante a invasão nazi. Publicou Solaris (1961), A Voz do Dono (1968) e livros com um humor inimitável, como Memórias Encontradas numa Banheira (1961) e Congresso Futurológico (1971). Em 1976, foi expulso da Associação Americana de Escritores de Ficção Científica, por ter criticado a qualidade da produção norte-americana no género. Legou-nos uma obra profundamente filosófica, norteada pela reflexão sobre as limitações humanas, o lado negro do progresso e o lugar do homem no Universo. Perdurará neste planeta como um mestre da sátira e da imaginação.
