Treasure Detectives Series

This series of detective stories always focus on a crime that is in connection with an outstanding work of art, an exciting historical period or an interesting part of cultural history. The protagonists are Hungarian high school students and a French detective.

​

According to my readers’ reviews, not only high school students, but adults enjoy reading these crime stories that are always connected to reality. The buildings, artefacts, treasures and historical facts appearing in the novels are real, only the characters and their actions are fictional. I’m planning to continue the series, partly because many readers expect to have a sequel, on the other hand, because I really enjoy the research and writing of such books.
