About the book: year / "Two Ears and a Tail", written by Frederic Dar and published, as usual, under a pseudonym, belongs to a large series of police novels about the commissioner San Antonio. The novel is no worse or better than the others. True, unlike those translations of which were published here in the 90s (written before 1973), here the Old Man has already resigned, Berurier was expelled from the police “as obscene,” and the commissioner himself slightly gained in age and more noticeably - in snobbery, causticity and linguistic sophistication. However, in view of the danger threatening the world, he seeks an audience with the “Emperor of all French” and receives permission to create an unaccountable “wild” brigade, which includes both Beru and the Old Man, so that the investigation will be carried out with the same recklessness.
