Max Spitzkopf, the Yiddish Sherlock Holmes, heads the famous Viennese detective bureau Blitz . . . He's bold as a lion and takes the wildest risks. Meet Max Spitzkopf: legendary private eye, undefeated foe of villains, and passionate defender of the Jewish people. No matter how hopeless or dangerous the case, when the investigatory profession's greatest artist is summoned, justice is assured. 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 evil conspiracies, 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 Mikhl Yashinsky's translation, it's easy to see why the young Isaac Bashevis Singer thought them masterpieces.
