The Life and Death of Maxmilián Dráp
The Rapid Arrows on the trail of a horrific crime! A detective story from the fictional world of Jaroslav Foglar.
A thirty-year-old body in the attic of a tenement house. A suicide over an immensely valuable stamp, a Blue Mauritius. Mirek, Jarka, Jindra, Červenáček, and Rychlonožka live under the impression that the case of Maxmilián Dráp's death is in the past. But a year later, everything is suddenly different. What if it was murder? And is it even possible to solve a case that happened more than thirty years ago? This time, the Rapid Arrows face opponents who remain hidden, letting others do their dirty work. There are more enemies than is healthy…
Jaroslav Foglar
Writer, editor-in-chief of the magazines Mladý hlasatel, Junák, and Vpřed, a prominent methodologist, and long-time scout leader of the 2nd Prague troop. He offered his experience, ideas, and programme tips to others through magazines and later books that blurred the line between story and methodological handbook, such as Kronika Ztracené stopy (The Chronicle of the Lost Trail) and Náš oddíl (Our Troop). His first short story, Vítězství (Victory), was published in Skaut Junák as early as December 1923. Ten years later, he serialised the novel Boj o první místo (The Fight for First Place) in the magazine of the same name. This was quickly followed by the books Hoši od Bobří řeky (Boys from the Beaver River), Přístav volá (The Port Is Calling), and two dozen others. Along with many short stories and comics, led by the Rychlé šípy (Rapid Arrows), these became the most essential reading for several generations of young people. His legacy, including copyrights, is managed by the Jaroslav Foglar Scout Foundation.
