Publication: Scribner, 1997, New York
First edition. Fine in fine dust jacket. Author's only book (he died in 1996 after completing this book). A distillery worker's body is found in the forest just outside a small town in contemporary Poland, still a culture in transition. When Leszek, a young farmer, begins looking into the unexplained murder of his childhood friend, he uncovers difficult truths about war crimes committed by members of his own family, and finds the answers to the puzzle in the forest where the past and present come together.
