Book Description
The snow in a Montreal winter covers a multitude of sins ... In the icy depths of a Quebec winter, a harmless old Polish man dies in mysterious circumstances. His suspicious niece draws in Montreal investigative journalist, Frank Delaney, to help her find the truth behind the death, a story the authorities seem to want covered up. The search for answers sweeps them into a dangerous web involving Canadian, Polish and Vatican agents who will use any means, even murder, to stop them. The catalyst for this international intrigue is the true story of Polish national art treasures secretly shipped to Canada to be hidden from the Nazis in the opening days of World War Two. This classic thriller combines fascinating history, deft storytelling and psychological depth. The Mazovia Legacy was shortlisted for the Arthur Ellis Award for Best First Crime Novel, 2004.

Book Description
This unique book about Mazovia and Mazowieckie Voivodeship presents the complex problems and enormous development potential of the largest and most prosperous voivodeship in Poland, its civilisational achievements and economy, as well as natural and tourist merits. The authors also depict the complicated and colourful history of Mazovia, from the onset of Polish statehood to the present day. In doing so, they oppose stereotypes which reduce the significance of the region to Warsaw and its close environs. The exceptional qualities of the book include numerous statistical data concerning prominent domains of economic and social life, a presentation of poviats (counties), an extensive discussion of the cultural institutions and historical monuments of Mazovia, a portrait of the local landscape, and an expanded list of addresses, particularly those of the offices if gminas, starostys and the most important institutions at voivodeship level.
