Lviv, 1908. The era of spy intrigues and scandals begins in Europe. Commissioner Adam Vistovych, one of the best investigators of the Galician police, unexpectedly receives an order to investigate... an ordinary robbery on the platform of the Lviv train station. The commissioner takes up the case and unexpectedly finds himself in a whirlpool of events, where ministers and diplomats, a private spy agency and a gang of Lviv robbers are simultaneously involved. The world around the commissioner suddenly turns into a chessboard, and people - into pieces that can be sacrificed at any moment.
How is the train station robbery connected to the distant Balkans? Why did a suicide in Lviv cause a stir in Vienna? What do old Galician hotels hide? About this and more - in Bohdan Kolomiychuk's new novel "The Lviv Gambit". The author skillfully immerses the reader in the noir world of old Galicia and Austria-Hungary. The exciting, tense plot takes place against the backdrop of ancient streets, shops, cafes, and suspicious pubs.
