Description
Death in Breslau by Marek Krajewski is set against the dark backdrop of 1930s Germany. A young woman's mutilated body is discovered on a train, with scorpions carved into her stomach - a gruesome image that sets off a chain of events. Inspector Eberhard Mock and his assistant Herbert Anwaldt must navigate the city's seedy underbelly to unravel a mystery linked to ritual killings dating back centuries. As they delve deeper, the investigation becomes increasingly entangled with the Gestapo's heavy presence in the city. The dark atmosphere is oppressive, and Anwaldt's fragile mental state begins to fray. The case takes a toll on both men, forcing them to confront the sinister forces at work in Breslau. Krajewski masterfully crafts a sense of foreboding, drawing the reader into a world of corruption and terror. With its gripping plot and atmospheric setting, Death in Breslau is a compelling read for fans of historical crime fiction.
