Publisher's Synopsis

The new, long-awaited second crime novel featuring Teodor Szacki. It is spring 2009, and the prosecutor is no longer working in Warsaw - he has said goodbye to his family and to his career in the capital and moved to Sandomierz, a picturesque town full of churches and museums. Hoping to start a 'brave new life', Szacki instead finds himself investigating a strange murder case in surroundings both alien and unfriendly. Szacki cannot avoid considering that these crimes could be a form of retribution by a Jewish madman, but could this be a false trail laid by the murderer?
