Until recently she believed she had finished with trances. She risked too much. Not just her own life, but also the lives of others.
When a young woman is found murdered in her Warsaw apartment, the investigating detectives-Marcin Sawicki and his new colleague, the talented but enigmatic Ada Rochniewicz-are under pressure to close the case quickly. But Ada's powers of intuition have already got her into trouble once before. And the sexist police force is not on her side.
As the investigation proceeds, we meet the victim's jilted lover, a mentally unstable working-class youth; her cleaner, a Chechen refugee in desperate circumstances; the man who broke her heart and joined a cult. And let's not forget Ada's eccentric sister, Kasia, nor her grumpy cat Albert-Amelia.
Getting to the truth becomes a darker and more complex matter than Marcin and Ada can imagine, as they confront a corrupt political and religious establishment.
