Old murder, long shadows, new murder.

In the woods around Minsk children wander towards the house of a witch, Baba Yaga, whose house stands on chicken legs behind a fence hung with the heads of people she's killed. Mass graves in the Kurapaty Forest and long-dead fingers stretch out towards the present to Faith Lange and her grandfather, Marek, whose memories of the second world war still haunt him. Story telling in the age-old format weaving shadows with threads coloured scarlet and black, murder and secrets.
