Blood Roses
In September 1939, former Warsaw chief investigator Jan Kalisz is compelled to work with the German criminal police while secretly passing information to the emerging Polish resistance. His double life isolates him from neighbours who see only collaboration and from a family he cannot trust with the truth.
When a German general’s niece is mutilated, Kalisz connects her death to the murders of Polish women ignored by the occupiers. His pursuit of the killer known as the Artist unfolds inside a city governed by reprisals, racial hierarchy and arbitrary execution, where solving the case may protect future victims but also strengthen the police system he is trying to undermine.
