Mystery | Suspense
It is spring 2009, and prosecutor Szacki 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. The victim is found brutally murdered, her body drained of
blood. The killing bears the hallmarks of legendary Jewish
ritual slaughter, prompting a wave of anti-Semitic paranoia
in the town, where everyone knows everyone. The murdered
woman's husband is bereft, but when Szacki discovers that
she had a lover, the husband becomes the prime suspect.
Before there's time to arrest him, he is found murdered in
similar circumstances. In his investigation Szacki must
wrestle with the painful tangle of Polish–Jewish relations
and something that happened more than sixty years earlier.
