This is the first of a quartet of historical murder mysteries from Polish author Mark Krajewski. The setting is the German city of Breslau (current-day Wrocław, Poland) in the summer of 1933. The murder of a local Baron’s daughter sparks an investigation by Criminal Director Eberhard Mock, a typical anti-hero familiar to fans of hardboiled crime novels. The tense setting, dark characters, and surprising conclusion made it a great read. Death in Breslau is available through SWAN.
