Bestselling Polish crime by award-winning author Zygmunt Miloszewski.
All eyes are on famous prosecutor Teodor Szacki when he investigates a skeleton discovered at a construction site in the idyllic Polish city of Olsztyn. Old bones come as no shock to anyone in this part of Poland, but it turns out these remains are fresh, the flesh chemically removed.
Szacki questions the dead man’s wife, only to be left with a suspicion she’s hiding something. Then another victim surfaces—a violent husband, alive but maimed—giving rise to a theory: someone’s targeting domestic abusers. And as new clues bring the murderer closer to those Szacki holds dear, he begins to understand the terrible rage that drives people to murder.
From acclaimed Polish crime writer Zygmunt Miloszewski comes a gritty, atmospheric page-turner that poses the question, what drives a sane man to kill?

Paperback. Condition: OKAZ. Le procureur Teodore Szacki n'est pas au mieux de sa forme depuis qu'il a quitté Varsovie. Il se sent en perpétuel décalage, tant dans sa vie de couple que dans ses relations avec sa fille adolescente. Est-ce pour cela qu'un jour, il ne prend pas l'exacte mesure d'une plainte pour violences conjugales ? Avec des conséquences effroyables pour l'épouse battue. Ou bien est-il simplement perturbé par une étrange enquête pour meurtre dont il a hérité - portant sur un squelette dont les os appartiendraient à plusieurs victimes. ? Teodore Szacki va vite se rendre compte que les deux affaires pourraient être liées. La piste d'un insaisissable redresseur de torts se dessine, quelqu'un oeuvre dans l'ombre, visiblement déterminé à rendre la justice pour pallier l'incurie des services de police. - Nombre de page(s) : 538 - Poids : 544g - Langue : POLONAIS - Genre : Policier / Thriller grand format.
