Gromił – Bractwo Wrocławskie, the second instalment.

By 1957 Wrocław was already a somewhat different city from the one it had been five years earlier. Some of the houses had been rebuilt and new ones had gone up. A group of friends, known informally as the Bractwo Wrocławskie, were quietly getting on with their lives. Until now.
Stefan Gromił, now promoted to captain, comes across an old case in the Security Office files in which the name of his friend Jan Warkot appears. The trail leads to Karpacz in the Sudetes, and the unresolved case turns out to have a sequel in the present day. Someone is evidently eliminating witnesses, in mysterious circumstances, ruthlessly and brutally. Gromił, who has specialised in mysterious cases, is entrusted with the investigation, but he is by no means left to his own devices. A counterintelligence major has entered the game.
At the end of this puzzle looms the matter of a mysterious train whose holds contained a priceless treasure. The colonel is applying pressure, the counterintelligence major refuses to give up, and the Soviets are demanding explanations. What was the ghost train carrying, and where is it now?
Gromił is a continuation of the friends' adventures, once again on the trail of a mysterious artefact. Watching over it all, fortunately, is Leon Słupecki, a medieval penitent with a peculiar sense of humour, who will not allow any harm to come to his friends.
All of this is set against pictures of that era, in which candyfloss, the wall of death, the match in Chorzów against the Russians and a smuggled gramophone record were sources of entertainment for people stuck in a dehumanised political system.
Is it a retro crime novel? Yes, that too. Is it a nostalgic book with supernatural elements? Absolutely. Is it a thriller that brings both laughter and tears? Of course it is!
