Project
Thanks to the residency, I will be able to finish a non-fiction book, telling the true story of an unprecedented crime in the history of Polish and world forensic science - the brutal murder and skinning of 23-year-old Katarzyna, a student of the Jagiellonian University in Cracow.
The book will be a record of a journalistic investigation looking for an answer to the question whether an innocent man was accused of this brutal murder? Are the police hiding the real perpetrator of the crime?
The item will be published by the WAB publishing house.
