Express to Galicia

Description
Anton Piller, a former university lecturer from Switzerland, arrives in Venice to sell a unique translated manuscript and earn a large sum of money. Shortly after, he is shot dead, and his body is carried away by the canals. In 1906, in Baden, Felix, a doctor’s assistant, bribed with a precious ring, passes a secret letter to a Russian patient, Orlov, who strangely disappears from the clinic. Commissioner Vistovych, a restrained and cold-blooded Galician investigator, is drawn into the whirlpool of dangerous events. It turns out that the information from this secret document can turn not only human lives but also world history upside down. This novel is a true detective thriller, captivating the reader from beginning to end.
