Slovenia. Idyllic Lake Bohinj, surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks. It's New Year's Eve. Senior Inspector Taras Birsa of the Ljubljana Police Department, returning home through a blizzard, comes across a girl who has discovered the body of a young woman in the lake, disfigured beyond recognition. Who is it? A liquidated witness to an invention worth millions of dollars? The innocent prey of a maniac? Or maybe she crossed the path of the mafia? The inspector is assigned to investigate, but how do you find a killer when you don't know who the victim is?
The Lake is the first psychological thriller in the noir genre in Slovenian literature.
Tadej Golob (b. 1967) is a Slovenian writer and climber, one of those authors who surprise the reader with a wide range of thematic palette. His first book, From Everest (2000), tells about the descent of the Slovenian extreme skier Davo Karničar from the highest peak in the world. Golob's bibliography includes biographical works and novels for teenagers, and for his book Pig's Feet (2009), he received the prestigious Kresnik Prize.
