In \u003cem\u003eThe Final Solution\u003c\/em\u003e, he has condensed his boundless vision to create a short, suspenseful tale of compassion and wit that re-imagines the classic 19th-century detective story.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn deep retirement in the English countryside, an 89-year old man, vaguely recollected by the locals as a once-famous detective, is more concerned with his bookkeeping than his fellow man.
