Доля правды

Staryĭ gorod Sandomezh potri͡asaet ubiĭstvo: nepodaleku ot mestnogo monastyri͡a nakhodi͡at polnostʹi͡u obeskrovlennyĭ trup zhenshchiny, zarezannoĭ nozhom dli͡a koshernogo uboi͡a skota. Delo poruchai͡ut prokuroru Teodoru Shat͡skomu, kotoryĭ byl vynuzhden pereekhatʹ v provint͡sii͡u iz Varshavy. Vskore on ponimaet, chto prosto tak raskrytʹprestuplenie ne udastsi͡a. Ono svi͡azano so starymi legendami, oputyvai͡ushchimi ėtot gorod, i s nedavnimi tragedii͡ami XX veka. Ono probuzhdaet proshloe, ozhivli͡aet drevnie sueverii͡a, nenavistʹ i raspri. Vskore prokuroru pridetsi͡a ne tolʹko vesti rassledovanie, no i uspokaivatʹ panikui͡ushchikh ozloblennykh gorozhan. A ubiĭt͡sa ne ostanavlivaetsi͡a, i ego metody stanovi͡atsi͡a vse bolee srednevekovymi.

The old town of Sandomierz is shaken by a murder: not far from the local monastery, they find the completely drained corpse of a woman who was stabbed to death with a kosher slaughter knife. The case is assigned to the prosecutor Teodor Shatsky, who was forced to move to the province from Warsaw. Soon, he realizes that it will not be possible to solve the crime just like that. It is connected with the old legends that entangle this city, and with the recent tragedies of the XX century. It awakens the past, revives ancient superstitions, hatred and strife. Soon, the prosecutor will have to not only conduct an investigation, but also calm the panicked, angry citizens. And the killer does not stop, and his methods are becoming more and more medieval.
