The morning after a grueling psychotherapy session in a Warsaw monastery, Henryk Telak is found dead, a roasting spit stuck in one eye. The case lands on the desk of State Prosecutor Teodor Szacki. World-weary, suffering from bureaucratic exhaustion and marital ennui, Szacki feels that life has passed him by but this case changes everything.
He must steer his way among a gallery of colourful characters: a flirtatious young journalist, an eccentric psychiatrist, a lecherous police colleague and a paranoid historian. Szacki's search for the killer unearths another murder that took place twenty years earlier, before the fall of Communism. The trail leads to facts that, for his own safety, he'd be better off not knowing.

Actually released in Zaika Indian Restaurant, Cnr Dixon & Willis St.
Even though I knew there would be BCers meeting in Zaika I did not know who would catch this and anyway now I see ES beat me to it, registering it while was still driving home. Great evening as we celebrated FutureCat's visit to Wellington.

Reading these holidays and then releasing at work book exchange in the New Year, was caught to assist with 666 challenge two years ago but was not needed. Time it was read and released.
