Miloš Urban

[3] Later the same year, Urban released his best-known work, The Seven Churches,[4] (Czech: Sedmikostelí), a Gothic historical thriller set in New Town, Prague, about a man named Kvetoslav Svach, and how he is linked to murders in seven cathedrals of the city.

[3] Urban next returned to the final two books of the "church trilogy": Shadow of the Cathedral (2003), which sold out within two weeks of its release,[5] and Santini's Language (2005), which drew comparisons to Dan Brown.

[3] A review in Czech daily Právo said that "Urban writes wonderful gothic mystery stories – and even Jakub Arbes might envy him this collection".

[3] Lord Mord, released the same year, is set amid the slum clearance of Prague in the late 19th century, in which the murder of prostitutes is employed as an allegory for the harm caused to the city.

[3] In 2011 Urban released Boletus arcanus, a satire about drug dependency and human need that references the Czech pastime of mushroom picking.

[3] In 2015, Urban released Urbo Kune, a sci-fi tinged novel written as a response to a request from Vienna architect, Jan Tabor, for European artists and writers to join a project dedicated to a united Europe.
