Chief Inspector Dal Damek of the Czech Republic Police is
intrigued. Two strangers, both supposedly on vacation,
come
to Czechoslovakia and arrive in his office within a
short
time of each other to ask about the death of an old nun
who
died of natural consequences. What is going on? There
has
to be a link.
As a young journalist, Dana Pierson had been in Prague
once
before -- 20 years ago. When the political activism was
running strong and just before the fall of the Berlin
Wall.
She had dragged her beautiful cousin Caroline along, then
Dana left abruptly and Caroline stayed. Now, she is
returning to see her, but circumstances work to keep them
apart.
Meanwhile, Father Giovanni Borelli of the Vatican has been
called to Prague by his old and trusted childhood friend
Giuseppe Ruffino (Beppe), now the prior of Our Lady
Victorious Church. Much as Giovanni enjoys his work as an
investigator, he also enjoys expensive wine, excellent
food
and looking his best in public. Still, why would Beppe
call
him about the death of a nun who was over 90 years of age?
LOST AND FOUND IN PRAGUE is the latest novel from Kelly
Jones, author of The Woman Who Heard Color and other

Kelly Jones, the author of The Woman Who Heard Color
transports readers to a dreary Good Friday in Prague,
where a mysterious death sets off a tangled chain of
events that inexorably draws three strangers together—and
forever changes their lives…
Just after the fall of the Berlin Wall, aspiring
journalist Dana Pierson joined the hordes of young people
traveling to Eastern Europe to be a part of history.
There, she and her best friend were swept up in the
excitement of the revolution. Twenty years later, Dana
returns to the city of her youthful rebellion to reconnect
with her old confidant, who never left the city. But the
visit that was reserved for healing intimacies and giddy
reminiscences is marred by a strange death in one of
Prague’s most famous churches—and an even more peculiar
mystery surrounding it…
In a city where the past is never far from the present,
Dana must work with a conflicted Italian priest and a
world-weary Czech investigator to unlock dark secrets
hidden in Prague’s twisted streets. But the key to solving
the puzzle may lie in memories of Dana’s long-ago visit,
even as she is forced to face the reality of a more recent
loss…
