The Last Book

2008

A series of mysterious deaths in the Papyrus Bookstore brings literature-loving police inspector Dejan Lukić to investigate. Here he meets the attractive owner, Vera Gavrilović, and learns that the only thing the victims have in common is that in the moments before their deaths they were reading an elusive and unidentified volume—The Last Book . As the plot thickens and the seemingly causeless deaths multiply, the National Security Agency, a secret apocalyptic sect and an exotic teashop become involved, while Dejan and Vera’s growing attachment is threatened by nightmares and ever-encroaching danger. Is a literary madman on the loose, murdering readers according to the method laid down in The Name of the Rose? In a final race against time, Inspector Lukić must discover the secret of The Last Book and the reason why he feels as though he has already read everything that is happening to him in a novel. The extraordinary denouement reveals hidden truths about the clash of realities and the awesome power of the creative imagination. The first book of The Papyrus Trilogy .

Grand Manuscript

2012

Roman "Nađi me" je direktni nastavak Živkovićevog trilera "Poslednja knjiga" iz 2007. godine. Donosi radnju smeštenu godinu i po dana nakon dešavanja viđenih u "Poslednjoj knjizi" ali i poznatu galeriju likova. Glavni junak, inspektor Lukić, preuzeće slučaj misterioznog nestanka poznate spisateljice detektivskih romana Jelene Jakovljević. Intrigantnost zadatka ne leži samo u činjenici da su vrata književničinog stana bila iznutra zaključana kada je njen nestanak otkriven, već i da nedostaje rukopis njenog novog detektivskog romana pod nazivom "Nađi me". Tokom rešavanja slučaja, inspektor Lukić će se susresti sa razdražljivim književnim agentom, slepim slikarom, virtuoznim bravarom, gnevnim izdavačima, i svi oni daće svoj udeo u proširivanju istrage, a ponekad i njenom slanju na pogrešan put. A da stvari postanu komplikovanije detektiv mora da se suoči i sa mračnim težnjama Agencije za nacionalnu bezbednost i tajnim kultom koji traga za besmrtnošću.
