The Chain Of Chance
by Lem, Stanislaw
The Chain of Chance (orig. Polish Katar) is a novel by Stanisław Lem, published in 1975. The novel is clearly grounded in the detective fiction genre, but Lem's treatment introduces many nontraditional elements. The reader is prompted not only to consider various suspects as possible culprits in a series of murders, but also the possibility that they have all happened purely by chance (hence the English title).
