Tadej Golob

Tadej Golob is currently the most borrowed author in Slovenian libraries. Originally, he worked as a journalist, and he entered literature with his book From Everest (2000). Several of his books have won or been nominated for the Slovenian Novel of the Year. The detective series featuring the quirky, slightly cynical criminal inspector Taras Birsa, which began with the novel The Lake, takes its inspiration from Scandinavian detective stories. The Lake was followed by the reader-successful sequels Leninov Park, Dolina rož, Virus and Koma. The first two books were made into a television series, in which the inspector Taras Birsa was portrayed by the actor Sebastian Cavazza, known to Czech viewers from the miniseries On the Waves of the Adriatic Sea). Tadej Golob is an avid mountain lover, having climbed Mount Everest and Dhaulagiri.
