Centered on an elderly retiree and his intellectual adversary, the
shrewd Inspector Lebeda, "Case Closed" is filled with all the
expected elements of a thriller--murder, rape, suicide!--but soon
reveals itself as a wily and sophisticated parable about the
dangers of language itself, in which the author takes aim at human
nature with a devastating arsenal of genre-mixing, wordplay, and
whimsical, biting satire.
