About the book: 2010 / Lvov, May 1939. A little boy dies in terrible agony. Rumors spread throughout the city about a ritual murder committed by the Jews. Whose child will be next? Everyone is counting on Commissioner Edward Popelski. But he does not want to investigate this matter. The specter of war, which is steadily approaching, and fear reign in Lviv. Only his criminal world continues to live according to the old laws. Everyone here knows Popelski. Nobody wants to help him. And everyone is afraid of his revenge.
