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 and 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 and 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 and 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.
