Meet Janusz Kiska: private investigator, âfixerâ and â murderer?
The keenly anticipated novel from crime writer Anya Lipska, author of WHERE THE DEVIL CANâT GO.
When masked men brutally stab one of his closest friends to death, Janusz Kiszka â fixer to East Londonâs Poles â must dig deep into Londonâs criminal underbelly to track down the killers and deliver justice.
Shadowing a beautiful Ukrainian girl he believes could solve the mystery, Kiszka soon finds himself skating dangerously close to her ruthless âbusinessmanâ boyfriend. Meanwhile, his old nemesis, rookie police detective Natalie Kershaw is struggling to identify a mystery suicide, a Pole who jumped off the top of Canary Wharf Tower. But all is not what it seems...
Sparks fly as Kiszka and Kershawâs paths cross for a second time, but they must call a truce when their separate investigations call for a journey to Polandâs wintry eastern borders...
Lipska was chosen by Val McDermid for the prestigious New Blood Panel at the 2013 Harrogate Crime Festival. Her second in the series promises another intelligent yet gripping detective thriller and a glimpse into the hidden world of Londonâs Polish community.
