Entanglement

1. Bestselling young star of Polish fiction, published for the first time in English. 2. The novel is the winner of “The High Calibre Award” for best Polish crime novel of 2007. 3.

He navigates gingerly among a gallery of colorful characters including an eccentric psychiatrist, a lecherous police colleague and a mad historian with a persecution complex.

An insider’s look into an Eastern European state, before and after the fall of Communism. 5. Immersion in the world of group role-playing psychotherapy. In an intriguing twist the novel explores the possibility of psychotherapy sessions used as a murder weapon. 6. Sequel featuring Teodor Szacki in the works.
