Gravediggers in the Outer Bailey
The second part of the detective trilogy for young readers is a loose continuation of the thrilling story Tajemství Hrobaříků (The Gravediggers' Secret).
This time, the group of detectives swaps the setting of a Prague cemetery for the romantic backdrop of the small town of Ostrožná, where the young heroes are helping out at an archaeological dig during their holidays. They soon learn that a precious relic disappeared from the local castle during the Second World War, and together with the descendants of the noble family, they enthusiastically set about solving the ancient mystery.
