To nie przypadek
In the Karkonosze Mountains, the Border Guard finds the body of a frozen collage student. The contents of his backpack leave no doubt: the boy was not an unlucky tourist. Meanwhile, a teenager disappears in Zgorzelec and there are many indications that she was abducted. In both cases, the clues lead to the Zgorzelec mafia, which is fighting for influence at the Polish-German border crossing. In the place where East meets West. The investigation is being conducted by Commissioner Paweł Ciszewski and Commissioner Albin Plesiński, known from the novel "Tak będzie prościej".
W Karkonoszach Straż Graniczna znajduje ciało zamarzniętego studenta. Zawartość jego plecaka nie pozostawia wątpliwości: chłopak nie był pechowym turystą. Tymczasem w Zgorzelcu znika nastolatka i wiele wskazuje na to, że została uprowadzona. I w jednej, i w drugiej sprawie tropy prowadzą do mafii zgorzeleckiej, która walczy o wpływy na polsko-niemieckim przejściu granicznym. W miejscu gdzie Wschód spotyka się z Zachodem. Śledztwo prowadzą znani z powieści "Tak będzie prościej" komisarz Paweł Ciszewski i komisarz Albin Plesiński.

Odłożyłam na szowinistycznym wyrzygu w okolicach jednej piątej objętości. Ani to zabawne, ani potrzebne, kto by chciał czytać takie rzeczy.
