1939: A city ruled by fear.
What you need to know before your trail
A city ruled by fear. A population brutalised by restrictions and reprisals. Amid the devastation, another hunter begins to prowl. What are a few more deaths amid scores of daily executions?
Former chief investigator Jan Kalisz lives a dangerous double life, forced to work with the occupiers as he gathers information for the fledgling Polish resistance. Even his family cannot be told his true allegiance.
When the niece of a Wehrmacht general is found terribly mutilated, Jan links the murder to other killings that are of less interest to his new overlords. Soon, he finds himself on the trail of a psychopathic killer known as The Artist. But, shunned as a Nazi collaborator, can he solve the case before another innocent girl is taken?

As the Nazis roll into Warsaw, a serial killer is unleashed…
In 1939, the city is ruled by fear and the population is brutalised by restrictions and reprisals.
Poland has murderous new German masters. As the threat of arrest and execution grows daily and Warsaw hovers on the brink of starvation, the body of a young German girl is found horribly mutilated. In retaliation the outraged Nazis swoop to round up hundreds of Poles and Jews who face the firing squad unless the killer is caught.
