A banánoxid nevű találmány vegyi képletének megszerzéséért folyik a harc a minden rendű és rangú szélhámossal zsúfolt Grand Hotelben. A bubópestis ürügyén elrendelt vesztegzár kényszerű bezártságának nyomasztó hatása alatt a legrejtélyesebb eseményekbe keveredik bele a hotel szinte valamennyi lakója. Végül az igazi bűnösök lelepleződnek, az igazi szerelmesek egymásra találnak. A Vesztegzár a Grand Hotelben az egyik legismertebb Rejtő regény: a vérbeli krimi és a szerző utánozhatatlan humorának legjobb egyvelege. Angol nyelvű kiadás.

The Fourteen carat car by Jenő Rejtő (P. Howard) \nA tizennégy karátos autó Angolul \nPaperback \nCorvina 2016 \nPart-Thriller, part-romance, but mostly quickfire vaudeville humor, this book has to be seen to be believed \nEnglish Summary: \nIs it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's the Fourten-Carat Car! Written almost twenty years before Ian Fleming's Goldfinger, these are the adventures -- romantic, pugilistic, and automotive -- of the dashing, unpredictable, and outright comic Ivan Gorchev and his irascible private secretary, Mr Vanek. 
 When the fearless (also reckless, and possibly downright feckless) Gorchev becomes unwittingly embroiled in a struggle between two ex-legionnaires and the Master': determined criminal gang to gain possession of a car made almost entirely of gold in an effort to decide the fate of a small African country, anything becomes possible. Even Gorchev'a falling in love and as a result--joining the Foreign Legjon. And adopting an ageing lion. Not to mention winning the Nobel prize for physics. 
 Part-thriller, part-romance, but mostly quickfire vaudeville humor, this book has to be seen to be believed. Or better yet, bought and read!\nAbout the Author: \nJenő Rejtő (born Jenő Reich 1905, died 1943; pseudonyms: P. Howard, Gibson Lavery) was a Hungarian journalist, pulp fiction writer and playwright who died as a forced labourer during World War II. He was born in Budapest, Austria-Hungary, on March 29, 1905, and died in Evdakovo, Voronezh Oblast, Soviet Union (then under Axis occupation) on January 1, 1943.Despite the "pulp" nature of his writings, he is not only widely read in Hungary, but is also much appreciated by literary critics. It is a prevalent opinion that he lifted the genre to the level of serious art, and his works will long outlive him.
