Some monsters look uncannily like human beings
In the police they are known as the Monster Hunters. Chief Inspector Paweł Hardy hunts the worst of the worst – effectively, though rarely by the book. When one of them, declared innocent after ten years in prison, walks free, a retired police officer asks Hardy for help. The new evidence does not clear the murderer at all.
For a decade, young girls have been dying in Roztocze. They vanish in the autumn, only to be found in the forest in the spring. Each time, the case is closed with the same word: suicide. Chief Inspector Hardy thinks otherwise and intends to catch the monster. He will have to pay a very high price for it.
A hunter who hunts monsters for too long eventually stops being able to tell a trophy from his own reflection in the mirror.
The second volume of the series about Chief Inspector Paweł Hardy is set in the picturesque Roztocze region, whose dark forests conceal dormant secrets.
