Karolina and the Torn Curtain
Cracow, 1895. Domestic work can wait--Zofia must go investigate. Zofia and her maid Francizka have their hands full organizing Easter festivities, especially with the household short one servant--where has the capable Karolcia disappeared to?Shortly after, Zofia hears that the body of a young woman, violated and stabbed, has washed up on a bank of the River Vistula.
Working with the police, Zofia goes on the hunt, uncovering a prostitution ring, and implicating gangsters and politicians alike as she unravels an unexpectedly twisted tale of love and deceit. Shockingly, the body turns out to be none other than Karolcia... "Written with abundant wit and flair,"** Cracow's finest, and most iconoclastic, amateur sleuth returns in a highly politicized feminist murder mystery. **Kirkus
