Publisher Description

Blood ties have an American police detective in Poland investigating a suicide that may have been murder.

"An astutely crafted, action-packed read." - Kirkus Reviews

In this darkly atmospheric suspense, a Philadelphia police detective visiting Poland gets involved when murder is suspected and the local police turn away. Adam Kaminski, with a delegation to Philadelphia's sister city, is meant to be a polite observer only. But a good man doesn't walk away when he sees wrong being done, and he's not about to start now.

Visiting his family's homeland, Adam's been warned by his superiors to be on his best behavior. In a country that has known centuries of wars and occupation, politics are complex and layered with old prejudices and loyalties impossible for foreigners to understand. But when Adam meets a Polish cousin in Warsaw who believes his daughter was murdered, Adam is troubled by the indifference of the police… and by the strange behavior of the delegation's Polish liaison.

Adam begins uncovering clues that point to the killer, clues that lead him inexorably into an investigation of the intricate web of Polish politics and the legacy of the Secret Police. But the past isn't always black and white, as Adam is forced to accept as he learns more about the killer and about his own family legacy. Will looking into the murder only beget more murder?

Mystery set in Poland

This polish mystery starts off with descriptions of the architectural and historic features of a reputedly lovely land.
Our detective is in a sister city, Philadelphia to where the tale of murder and intrigue is set in Poland. He is posted to the Polish city in a delegation for trade and travel where his services are intrigued by the supposed suicide of a young woman who shares his surname and turns out to be the daughter of a cousin of his native to the area. He is of Polish extraction so meeting relative is in his itinerary anyway, I just think he wanted to meet them alive! It was a good well paced mystery in a unique location, worth the read.

Past and present

Pressed into service on a sister city delegation to Poland, a Philadelphia cop of Polish descent helps to discover the murderer of his niece while aiding his cousin, an investigative journalist in Warsaw. The author did a good job in describing the setting of post-WWII Poland to the present in its struggles to reconcile its Communist past and advance toward a budding democracy.
