Aided by his trusty assistant, Fuchs, super-sleuth Spitzkopf deploys equal parts physical bravery and intellectual ingenuity not to mention a knack for stealthy disguise to unpick evilconspiracies, outwit the canniest of criminals, and restore moral order to the world.Giving a unique twist to a beloved literary genre, this complete collection of the fifteen Spitzkopf mysteries is also a vibrant testament to Jewish life, in all its variety, during the last years of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Reading the tales, with every iota of their linguistic verve and historical charm preserved in MikhlYashinsky s translation, it s easy to see why the young Isaac Bashevis Singer thought them masterpieces.
